"The expose of imperialism by Nikita Khrushchev during the last few years has been a contribution to the world Communist movement. At the 15th Genéral Assembly of the United Nations, Comrade Khrushchev put the light on imperialism and made it squirm.
"The fraternal aid which Bulgaria has received from the Soviet Union has spéd its itidustrial and ᾿ economic development, The Soviet Diion doés ‘the same for others very often at the expense of ‘its own needs.
The U.5.5.R. could have a-very high standard-of living but it puts international solidarity and aid to other socialist countries first.

"We need a center for the revolutionary movenent; ‘We say this cénter is thé Communist Party” of the Soviét Union. It has been the cénter for decades and has vast experiences in ali fields.

"Our Party believes in the fight on two fronts. During the last few years the international Communist move- ment has inflicted serious defeats upon the exponents of revisionism and the Yugoslav revisionists. The agents of revisionism have been ousted in all Parties.
"Since imperialism is not finished, its ideology will continue to penetrate ‘the working class movement, therefore, we need vigilance against revisionism ahd sectarianism. Beftism or sectarianism has hurt our move- ment in the world. V. 2, Lenin wrote about such. problems of leftism and sectarianism.
"Dimitrov, the great international leader and a leader of our Party until his death, aimed his. blows chiefly at sectarianism at the 7th Congress. of the Communist Inter~ national.
SPEECH OF TODOR πα ER
DELIVERED TO THE MEETING OF COMMUNIST PARTIES
AND. WORKERS! PARTIES ON NOVEMBER 11, 1960 |
"At one time the Bulgarian Communist Party was’ dominated by sectarianism. It was divorced from reality. It had no realistic program. It had a left slogan, on the revolution and the dictatorship of the proletariat, which further isolated it from the masses. It was with the help of Dimitrov that we beat the sectarians’after several years and so we were prepared for revolution after the war.
"The cuit of Stalin’s personality did us great harm, We lost a-good part oF our cadre as a result of Stalin's cult of the personality. Now, as a result of the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, wé have rid ourselves of the consequences of the cult of personality and we pursue Leninist norms of work.
"Our movement needs one cammon, callectivyel worked out line for the entire world. We wark under the banner of Marxism-Leninism. We need discipline and cofesian, but a new Communist International is not necessary. What we need is a common line and unity. The Bulgarian Communist, Party will follow the line as worked ont here in the statement,"
The source pointed. out that Todor Zhivkoy spoke on November 11, 1960, prior to the first speech of TENG ‘Hsiao-ping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, to this meeting on November 14, 1960. After the speech of TENG Hsiao-ping, the delegation of the Bulgarian Communist Party submitted a written document which contained some very sharp statements about the Communist Party of China and the Albanian Party of Labor. This written document also contained a more militant defense of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and Nikita Khrushchev.

pm SPEECH OF WALTER ULBRICHT TO THE -- . ΝΞ ΕΟ MEETING OF COMMUNIST PARTIES AND . | WORKERS ' PARTIES. IN MOSCOW, RUSSIA " ας}
δ τ A source, who has furnished reliable information in ~ - “ . the past, has furnished the following information.
ὌΝ ‘On November 10, ‘i960, the neeting of the representatives -- . of the 81 Co unist Parties and Workers' Parties heard a speech : by Walters st..5: of .the Socialist. t Fer RALLY. Ge aman of Germany, The, sessions of this meeting were held in St; George, all in the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia. The following is the. | essence of. the remarks of Walter Ulbricht.
“We are gathered here to adopt a declaration which; for. _~ us, should be.a program. We should give our thanks to the Com~ ‘munist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) Presidium ‘and to the en- tire committee producing the draft. In his speech Comrade . Khrushchev showed us how to overcome différences and unite, We regret that Comrade TENG Hsiao-ping, Secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC), went.‘back and’ undid some things: that were agreed to. Comrade TENG Hsiao-ping really had no constructive suggestions, We thought that the CPC would meet us half Way and we would reach an agreement.
Acs) “ye. the 81 Communist Parties adopt the declaration it i" is of great significance and should cement. the unity and push i) Je socialism forward. It should also give impetus to the working class movement and to the movement for peace. The: CPSU has shown “ile 6 the way to cooperate, but the Chinese comrades have emphasized ! the differences, The CPC has raised problems that should not have .been raised at this neeting. I'am referring ‘to problems of
estate δ᾽ ἤ
‘The dogmatic statements of the CPC representatives at. ‘world organizations of labor, peace, etc., have harmed the world Communist movement. Some of their statements have also been in- sulting to the CPSU and to Comrade Khrushchev. Life has borne ἡ out ‘and substantiated the events since 1957. We of the Socialist
Unity Party of Germany (SUPG) say iy, the 20th Congress Wy iy ΒΡ. Ϊ ENcLosuRe = Vac β (Ὁ
_ SPEECH OF WALTER ULBRICHT TO THE Τλέθεσπες. MEETING OF COMMUNIST PARTIES AND WORKERS' PARTIES IN MOSCOW, RUSSIA
CPSU is not a question of one Party. That Congress. was a turn for the international Communist movement.
“The. Declaration of 1957, therefore, adopted..a position on the theses of that Congress. This Congress dealt with the construction of Communism in the -0.S.S.R., the constriction of socialism in other countries, the ‘colonial movement, etc., etc., and it replaced phraseology with actual work for peace and in ὁ this way influenced the masses and helped the work. of the Com- munist Parties in other capitalist countries, including Britain, the United States, and others,
“Those who say, we told you so, because of the Summit collapse or the U-2 incident now: forget that President Eisenhower and. the Republican Party. paid for Ike's pigheadedness. They paid for it in Japan and in other places, and the Republican Party lost the election in the United States. We ask our Chinese friends, please drop that outworn phraseology,
“Comrade Khrushchev 5 actively using socialist diplomacy has helped to mobilize millions. .The SUPG agrees with the draft on the characterization of the epoch. -We keep in mind that Germany has unleashed two world wars. Germany can regain respect in the community of nations if they, the Germans, stand for peace. We must prove, and we can do so, that Germany can develop its peaceful resources and show a road to the goal of a national Germany; that is, unification. ,
“There can be competition between East and Fest Germany, each working ander different economic conditions. I want to Say. a few words about socialist development. It .seems to us that the Communist ‘Party of China has denied that there are laws for the, construction of socialism. . We say that one country alone cannot orient only on its own economy. We have to discuss how to advance by helping the more underdeveloped countries.
“On peaceful and non-peaceful transition, the German éx~ perience was that with the help of the Soviet Union we overthrew. fascism and established a democratic state. In the future the transition can be of varied: forms. The problem is to set up the

power of the working class, the peasantry and the middle classes, and if we fight for peace we will win the masses. Even in Western Germany, the hotbed of arms preparation, the ally of United States imperialism, it is possible to win the people for disarmament
and peace. °
‘The Bonn regime of Chancellor Adenauer is fighting ᾿ for hegemony in all Western Europe. German troops in France show that West Germany is playing a leading role‘in NATO. They achieved this position by submitting to United States imperialist world hegemony. Adenauer cannot carry through an independent policy. He, therefore, needs help from other states, especially the United States,
“West Germany is aggravating the West Berlin situation. It is beginning to place military orders in West Berlin. We have, therefore, taken measures to stop this. We will assert our sovereign rights. ‘The Bonn Government has also taken counter- measures. For example, it ‘denies our people visas to travel into NATO countries. They broke the agreement on transport. Bonn ig threatening us with economic blockade. They are trying to undermine our econony. This is the part that the Bonn Government plays in the attempt to prevent peaceful co-existence. ‘The Bonn Government wants to hinder: agreement and prevent the Signing of ἃ peace treaty.
“We are working hard to become economically independent from Western Germany, We will need more cooperation from
all the socialist states. The Bonn Government has backed _ down recently and is once again negotiating a trade .aand transport agreement, but West Berlin is sabotaging. We may not be able to fulfill our plan on time, but we will catch up because of the new relationship of forces in the world and the growing power
of the socialist camp.
᾿ς “the ‘Bonn Government is in a bad position. It will not be able to carry through its revengist policy. Not only the German people, but other peoples, even in the United Nations, have, come out against the Bonn Government. Bonn may try local war, but this could lead to 2 nuclear war.
an
SPEECH OF WALTER ULBRICHT To THE Sep escukr MEETING OF COMMUNIST PARTIES AND
HORKERS _ PARTIES IN MOSCOW, RUSSIA
“The Ghinese comrades, in their broadcasts, say that imperialism should be despised internationally but should be seen objectively tactically. Our strategic purpose is to destroy West German imperialism, but this will not be done by minimizing it and calling it a ‘paper tiger”. West German imperialism is a.real tiger. Our task is to do away with the remnants of World War Τί and to mobilize the people for peace.
“The Four Power agreement makes no sense. We need peaceful co-existence with West Germany. We are proposing a ten year peace treaty which rules out the use of force. We are also proposing commercial agreements and we propose negotiations on a West Berlin peace treaty and-on transport. We also are pro- posing an agreement abolishing war propaganda, —
“We agree with Comrade Khrushchev that a- ‘Summit meeting next year should solve the West Berlin problem and other questions on Germany;. The other peoples! democracies, too, must start a campaign on this important problem. We want peaceful relations
between Germany and the 0.8% S.R., but Bonn sabotages these peace- ful relations... Bonn will have to give up its revengist policy
‘and give consideration to’a federation. Only disarmament will
facilitate Germany's development as a peaceful state.
“Now, about some other problems. The CPC has scored successes in socialist construction, but certain peculiar con- ditions in China have caused them to resort to one-sided develop-~ ment. The Chinese comrades are resorting to the Sinification of Marxism-Leninism, The next thing we know, we should not be sur- prised if someone comes up with the theory of an Americanization of Marzism-Leninisn.
“We cannot understand why the CPC has departed from its own Eighth Congress. Where was the Chinese varlant of Marzism- Leninism adopted? What Congress did this? Comrade TENG Hsiao-ping has’ great regard for the privileges of a minority and hé wants ~ to protect its rights and the right of the veto. We are shocked by Comrade -TENG Hslao=-ping's statement, especially when he tries to utilize Lenin to justify splits and factionalisn.
“The Chinese comrades may be correct in saying that there may be divergent views. @Gell,-we need to discuss. these, but it
y , SO it :

is wrong for MAO Tse-tung not to show up here and it is wrong for these comrades just to use the quotations which he sent,
“Dogmatism is growing and is dangerous, especially when we need to develop a popular movement in the world for peace and disarmament. At some international democratic conferences the Chinese comrades have repelled forces who favor peace. This restricts the peace movement.
‘Now, about the role of the CPSU. The CPSU is the center of the world Communist movement, but we agree with Comrade Khrushchev that the phrase that the CPSU is the ‘head? should be Left out of the declaration, However, we want to thank the CPSU for bearing the brunt of the defense of the socialist camp, The various Parties should decide how much of the other Parties' exe perience should be disseminated by their own Parties.
“gome theories or theses have universal meaning, I believe that these problems are placed correctly in the draft declaration and the socialist Unity Party of Germany, therefore, endorses this declaration.”

He promised financial support to the CPUSA ‘during the year 1961 but no firm commitment was made for the entire: year Tas} hevsaid the matter will be discussed again in September, 1961, if ‘the CPUSA felt at that time it was short of funds. Ponomarev added, however, that the CPSU would not neglect the CPUSA when it is in financial trouble.
The informant noted that the CPSU did not: provide money for gifts, clothing, et.cetera, for the delegates to the November meetings held in Moscow, Russia, as lavishly as had been done in “the past. The amount of rubles allotted to thé delegates for miscellaneous expenses and for the purchase of souvenirs while in Moscow was conservative by previous standards.
differently than in the past was brought out by a change in the
method whereby the CPSU would provide funds for transportation to
thé Soviet Union. The CPUSA was told that when a Party member travels.
to Russia and transportation is purchased with CPUSA funds, the ticket
should provide transportation only as far as Prague, Czechoslovakia,
or a city in a communist country bordering Western. Europe. No
return ticket should be purchased in the United States. Thus, the
CPSU will use the monetary exchange of Russia or another communist:
country: for the travel fare inside those countries and will use some
reciprocal arrangement with airlines of noncommunist countries ons i=

“We cannot understand, however, why in “Long Live Leninism they do not mention. the emergence of new sovereign states, except where they quote the oldar Moscow Déclaration, We believe that the CPC stands for. peaceful co-existence aid that the imperialists want to disrupt the peace zone, but, we also believe that the Chinese comrades have taken an attitude that
has weakened the peace zone. The speech of Comrade ‘TENG Hsiao- ping compeis us to mention this breach in the China-India friendship. ,
“In 1959 the ‘Indian press reacted to the occupation of Tibet. They called it a national revolt. Nehru reacted, too, but Ke took sharp issue with the reactionaries, Nehru demanded that they stop this anti+China campaign. We, the Communists, were the only organized force for China,
“China reacted, but sometimes unwisely. They charged that certain border towns in India.were the center of the revolt in Tibet and also’that the Dalai Lama was living in India under duress, Some of these things are ridiculous.
“Our Party supported the gereral stand of the CPC but some of the statements in thé letters havé to.bé characterized as wrong, We point out, also, that the loose term, “Indian ‘expansionist’, is wrong; that the Chinese even charged their friends with that. Even if Nehru made some anti-China state- ments, we remind the CPC that there.is a distinction between Nehru and the reactionaries in India..

“Wa received very curt replies. We were told by the Chinese comrades to xead the articlés in thé *Peoplées"™ Daily” on” Nehru and his philosophy. - They also told us that we had no “right
to ask for a meeting between Nehrii and CHOU En-lai. Shortly ΄.᾿ after this the Congress Party Launched an all-dut ‘attack on us in Kerala, Our government was dismissed and the événts arouséd the country. Millions of people participated in démonstrations for our defense. Even the capitalist prass was against this dismissal of the Kerala Government. It was undemocratic.
“However, this was in the ‘peginning of 1959. ‘The bourgeoisie overthrew the Kérala Governmeiit, but it was a Pyrrhic. victory for them. We won more than we lost.

‘Shortly after. the. Ind@ia-China border incidents,. ina letter. of August,, 1959, we. wrote to. the CPC and told them that the. reactionaries will. use ‘thesé ‘porder--incidents to fight us and they, will also. develop a. ‘broad anti-China. campaign. It 911} strengthen reaction and weaken Nehru. and ‘bring: ‘the Indians. closer to United States imperialism. Welrecéived no freply. On September 3, 1959, we sent another ldétter ‘to the CPC, -Wée sent this letter from Moscow. We asked’ that. ‘thére’: be -an. exchange of views. ‘between China and India to help ‘pull Thdia away from. the “Anglo-American camp. This would. help the cause. of peace, it would hit ‘the reactionaries, ete,; but the CPC did not even reply;
“In our letters we always. placed responsibility on the - bourgeoisic. - We asked. the CPC. leaders to help us SO Wwe could Win the péople. On August 28, 1959, there . were eight notes” exchangéd between India and ‘China, but. we: were told nothing by the “Chinese. At the end of August, 1959, a. new: “border clash took place, a CHOU En-lai sent ἃ Letter : ἰδ Ὑπάλ1δ ‘in. which ‘he ‘said ‘the™Chinesé- never ‘recognized the Mc Mahon. line; it..was'an inperidlist” border line, CHOU. En~lai asked. for more: territory, which Ke. éldimed ἢ as China's, Ho asked for 90,000' square. kilonieters of territory. Even if this territory’ was acquired ‘by the British, the ‘fact remping that Indian people Live there. ἂν
“Why was this question not ‘raised “at Bandung 44 ‘the
Chinese thought about this problem? | “What an attitude to ΕῚ ᾿ country in the peace zone! What.an “attitude. to” the Indian” cP!. We believe that our Chinese comfadés should have given: thought to the interests of the entire. socialist” camp and” else to the countries in the peace zone ‘which . ‘are not 18 thé imperialigt . camp. The Chinese. comrades argue that..the ° ‘slogak “unity and’ struggle” is applicable to: the national bourgeoisie and “1s
applicable to this, question. of the border “dispute. We ‘say that.
this is not so. How do we isolate the ‘hoprgeoisie from the people? This 90, ooo square miles of barren land placed our " Party. in a very difficult: Situation. Our friéids weve bewildered and China lost the good will of: millions of people. in India.
“We said. nothing openly. We wanted to discuss “these-
problems. We had a frank discussion in “Whee 1959,. but we
SPEECH OF AJOY KUMAR GHOSH TO THE MEETING OF COHHUNIST PARTIES AND WORKERS ! PARTIES IN MOSCOW RUSSIA
were not in agreement. We argued. that if both countries gave the frontier legal recognition, agreement could be reached. Later, at the agricultural exhibit which was held in India, an effort was to be made to contact the Indian leaders. However, a little later another clash at the border took place and Indian soldiers were killed in a remote area occupied by a few people, Now, even this remote, isolated territory. is in the public mind.
“Again we asked the Chinese comrades to express sorrow and sympathy without blaming one side or the other, and to start negotiations. The Chinese Peoples' Republic did not issue such 8 statement, but on November 7, 1959, .they sent a note to Nehru, | CHOU En-lai came to India. but it was too laté: The reactionaries had the upper hand. There was little progress made.
“These discussions and disputes continue, although there have been no open border clashas for a year. If the Chinese Peoples' Republic would make an effort. they could help peace; they could help us. The CPC charged” that the Tass statement ἡ was wrong and damaged the interests of China and wes issued to please President Eisenhower. The Chinesé coiplained” that thee was not a word of condemnation or blame of inperialism ‘in’ this statement. We consider that the Tass statement was correct and wise, a
“Some comrades think that since there was a clash between a socialist state and a capitalist state the U.S.S.R. Should’ have dined up with the Chinese Peoples' Republic. When United ‘States imperialism threatened China the U.S.S.R. gave ita warning, — but these border clashes are not of the kind that threaten China. ὁ These were not acts of aggression by either China or India. The position taken by the Soviet Union on this helped us and prevented the disruption of relations between India and the socialist countries, We should approach these problems not as border - clashes but rather with the idea in mind that India is a part of the peace zone and is in the anti-colonial camp.
, “Now, regarding the divergencies in the draft déclaration that we have before us. We favor ifcluding in the document the © section on the 20th and 21st Congresses of the CPSU Just as it stands.
woe
SPEECH OF AJOY KUMAR GHOSH TO THE MEETING OF COMMUNIST PARTIES AND WORKERS' PARTIES IN MOSCOW, RUSSIA
We disagree with the Chinese amendments to delete the 20th and 21st Congresses. Our experience and the ‘consequences of the personality cult also compel us to disagree with the Chinese.
“On national Communisn, we reject ‘the. CPC ationdment. I do not agree that national Comminism is the satie as bourgeois. nationalisn, Bourgeois nationalism is wider in scope. National Communism.is used to deceive people, but offers up - -a. certain. different brand of Communibm. We placé tlie stress ‘on inter- national Communism and we say that.this is Marxism-Leninisn,
“We agree with Comrade Khrushchev that we should drop the phxase "the CPSU is the lead Party". We favor somé. dddi- tions on South Africa which will deal with race relations, and we want to sse in this document a condemnation of South Africa.
“Now, finally, on the paragraph regarding factionalism
‘and groupings, We believe it is needed but in view of” the
uarrels we should drop this so it cannot be ised by ‘our enenies. We should stress the equality of Parties and the importance of unity and cohesion.” ; "

"Now, we have a few'points on the’ construction of socialism and unity. ‘The Korean Communist Party always: regarded the revolution :as a part. of the world revolution. and:-a part of. the building of socialism for the, entire ὁ camp. Our-successes are due. to the help. of the Soviet Union and -other socialist countries and also to ‘the help of the Communist Party of China; !
"There are peculiarities. in our: country , of course, as there are in other. countries, but we use the general line of Marxism-Leninism as other Parties ‘dd...
We use the experience of the ‘other’ Communist. Parties. ‘in building socialism, but .we especially ‘use the. experiences. ‘of the Communist Party of the: Soviet Union.. 7
"The question is how to ereatively apply Marxisn- -Leninism ‘to the peculiarities of our. country. “Remember that “we -were. “B- backward: country. and--that. we. were. engaged. in:-a., ᾿
horrible three year war. We had ‘difficulties: ‘in our. restora-_
tion, after. the war, yet we are building and have built heavy and light industry..and are successful in agriculture. Some said this could-not he done but it was done. The dogmatists wanted ‘to swallow wholesale the experiences. of everybody else, This created problems for. us, -but we followed the line’of Marxism-Leninism and the experiences ‘of the Communist Party. of the Soviet ‘Union and, we succeeded. ~The more ‘backward a country, the more diversified the experiences. We respect the. experiences of 811 fraternal Parties, but we use methods. in keeping with the concrete conditions of-our ‘country, Korea. "At the “present time our main task is the. unifi= cation of, Korea, that is, North Korea and South Korea. ‘South. Korea is ina bad way, but the colonial domination by ‘the United States in South Korea has been shaken. We are unifying all the forces, including. the former Syngmait Rhee people. Even these reactionaries are ‘welcome, as long as they want. to fight for national, libération and ‘the unifi-- cation -of .our country, .--

We are. influencing south Korea: We have a big: and tremendous influence among the youth. We have. 2 great experiencé in South Korea ; especially: in the lessonhs..of. “last. April. Nothing could: stop the péople. and the present ‘puppet power regime in ‘South Korea is. shaky. Even the troops. are restless, just as the ‘people. are, They are also dissatisfied with the policy.
‘Our Party has ‘advanced - ‘Some: new propositions for the unifying of our country ‘and these. are:
1. We ask that the: United States. troops be withdrawn: and. that free élections. 6. held. ;
2. We are proposing 8. confederation. between the’ ‘North and the South to, co-ordinate the economy: ‘of our. country. This sécond démand’
‘ is receiving wide support, not only. . in North
Korea; -but especially “in South Korea.
"The struggle. for. peace is our most important, task. We, too,.:believe that it is possible’ to prevent a world war. The- ‘foreign policy. of thé U.S.S.R.. gives, ‘leadership to: ' the world peace forces. Comrade Khrushchev’ did ‘a magnificent job at the 15th General Assembly meeting of the United. ‘Nations:
"In Korea, United States imperialism is Mnabile- to. unleash a war. We have the backing: of the socialist camp and we feel strong, but vigilance is. still necessary; “The. United States led troops ‘Of 15..countries: in the attack upon us and in their effort to destroy us. They. used our entire country as a battlefield. They used germ warfare, chemical warfare, ete., but with the help of the socialist - ‘countries, with ‘the help of the U.8:S.R. and China in particular, we defended our base from imperialism.
"Right now we are fending off thé provocation of United States imperialism, ‘but there are real dangers of-war,. in our part of the world. So 1 repeat that vigilance. is necessary to expose the intrigues of the imperialists. He must: constantly mobilize the masses. Peace needs to be fought for.

SPEECH. OF KIM. IR-SEN, | DELIVERED TO. “THE MEETING ᾿ς OF COMMUNIST. PARTIES AND f- WORKERS' ‘PARTIES. ON ᾿ NOVEMBER 14, 1960 . :
"Now about a few other problems, We consider revisionism the main danger because this ideology disarms the working class. This is exemplified by the work of the Yugoslavs. We should not weaken the struggle against revisionisn. In ‘our Party we defeated the ‘factionalists and we assured an upsurge in the construction of. socialism.
' We believe in. Lenin’s idéa that we fight on two fronts against the right and ‘the left. danger. We unanimously, admit that the unity of the socialist camp and the world Communist movement is our foremost task. That is a Leninist principle.
“The. imperialists of the United. States are. trying to split us from. within. They axe sowing. differences. It is:our highest: duty’ to safeguard our unity and cohesion. in the interests of the. world Communist movement. We follow the.-Commuhist. Party..of the..Soviet Union ‘because the ‘Communist “Party of the Soviet Union has the greatest ‘experience .. “The ἡ U.5.5.R. is‘in the vanguard of world: socialism in the fight for peace. -
‘We want to-say, too, that the .victory ‘of the Chinese. Revolution was, the greatest event since the October Revolutioi- of 1917. The Communist Party of China is- fighting for peace. and is leading its people , to socialism, China ‘has aroused thé colonial peoples in Asia ‘and in. other parts. of ° the. world. The. Chinese People’ s Republic helped us to. fight the ‘patriotic war. The Communist Party of ‘China is loyal . to, socialism and to Marxism-Leninis. Ye need to consolidate for unity. of our Commiinist camp.
"The Moscow Deciaration of 1957 stressed the Kind of relations necessary in the socialist camp-and. in ‘the entire Conimuni st camp. These: relations of Parties should, be, based. upon equality, respect for each other, and mnon- * interference in each other's affairs.. There should. :be no: unilateral. interference in other Parties! affairs. ‘The relations. of Parties.should be based on mutual ‘understanding.

"Fach Party determines its own policy and the course ofits revolution. We consult and work out some collective policies that unify our ranks. Differences may arise but always keep in mind that imperialism is the main-enemy, For this reason we should consider the present differences as secondary. Blaming each other , is no good, We cannot continue to blame each other in the world arena. The problems which are the present subject of discussion are not very serious. They should be resolved by mutual. understanding and solved gradually
without haste. No effort should be Spared .to get unanimity.
Take into account the fact that each Party works under specific conditions. The drafting committee has reached unity ‘on some of the major questions. Only some minor problens remain, Let us iron these out and strengthen our cohesion.

| | IN MOSCOW,..RUSSIA. .
A source, who has :furnished. reliable information in
the past, has furnished the. following Anformation concerning | the sessions. of the. meeting of. Communist Parties and; Workers'
Parties held in St. George Hall in the. Kremlin .in Moscow, ὁ
Russia, on November. 16, 1960, with the exception of the. speech - of Enver Hoxha., First Secretary of the Albanian Party of Labor,
Because of the Length of the speech. of Hoxha it has. been set:
, forth elsewhere.
Remarks of. Delundé
HO. Khin,. member. of ‘the Politburo. of the Communist. ‘Party ΟἹ ‘Burma, was the. Chairman. ‘of. the opening: session on ΝΞ November 16, 1960.. Delunde Anibal Escalante, a secretary_of . the-Central,.Committee of the People's ‘Sodialist. Party, of Cuba, (BSP), “was the first speaker. ‘The essence of. his ‘remarks. follows. . “We made a study of the draft document péfore us. We * approved the draft as a.whole,. The, document,” should stimulate the on ideological development. of.-each: Party and -Should; rally. further. ὁ . the Communist Parties of the. world ‘a8 ‘they apply this Markxist- Leninist Declaration.

“All: the revolutionary forces of: Cuba, not. only the Communists, will accept this document and study. the -analysis. of our epoch.. I. want. to emphasize the. character of this‘ epoch. because. this is’ of great’ importance to, each. Party. The draft shows. that the main trend. of development. is being determined by the. world socialist.system. This epoch is not. determined -by imperialism; not merely by: revolutions: 18. general. but by, socialism, cand: that -has: -tipped the scales.
“Becatige of all this, the forces of progréss have bn) greater opportunities. They. can make-an, all-out try for peace, 9)

independence and socialism. Therefore, peace is, felated to
‘the independence. of the colonies, and it is-during peace that
they are. shaking off the chains of imperialism, As a result,” the roots of socialism are sprouting in all corners of our planet.
“We cannot overestimate the enemies. We must change and chart a new course. We Cubans .can, estimate the -changes in the. world, What seemed impossible ten years ago is now happening in Cuba.” Even.six. years ago United States imperialism.was able to stifie the Guatemalan Revolution, but today the imperialists cannot do. as they please.
“The fact is. that a popular revolution did take place only 90:-miles from.the coast of the United States.: The definition
. of modern clocks will enable us to check our timepieces. and. help
us. to work. out our strategy and tactics.
“Concerning peaceful. co-existence, :we. assert that the Cuban policy is one of peaceful co-existence. Blas Roca. said at. our Party Assembly that Cuba is no longer a vassal of United States imperialism. We.are opposed to a world war, not only. because. of the reasons given in. the resolution, -but also, for
-national reasons. A local war in the Caribbean, too, would
serve. as.a pretext for a. war of United States imperialism to destroy Cuba. We favor reaching an agréement, with the United States. We. favor peaceful co-existence. but on equal terms with- out imperialist pressures.
“Peaceful co-existence is not an obstacle to.our. re- volution. On the.contrary, time is on its. side. Peaceful co- existence. implies relations between ‘states and. does. not mean
.class peace in each country. or even on a world -scale.
“I want to say some words about the road of transition to socialism. The Moscow. Declaration of 1957 was quite. correct. This. thesis is. further developed in the present draft..and was explained to us. quite clearly by Comrade Khrushchev in the first
session. We re-affirm what our Party said. We do not glorify
the peaceful way, but the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) showed. that both ways are possible

“The armed struggle, as. it. developed. in Cuba, met a response in the Soviet Union:.and. among our other friends, but let's look.‘more. deeply. into this problem... In Latin America there :are. conditions. for a peaceful way in some countries,
While studying Latin American: tactics of revolution, I would.
Say. at. the present time it is not, possible. in Latin. America to win peacefully merely by the ballot because in..many. countries. -- corruption and violence are. used; and..because: United States im- - perialists -and ‘North: American . stooges. ccontrol some. of. the, govern— ments and.armed: forces .and have: more. power.. than: the..elected ~ officials. ‘They also. use ‘violence against the working class. Usually, in. many. of: these countries, ‘the progressives. support candidates. who are in reality :of the bourgeoisie.
Mie . should participate. in. elections. but we should not. spread. Allusions. Cuba,, Guatemala, Chile, Argentina show that. it is not. enough. to. win.an election for. ‘President... It is necessary to. replace the. state apparatus. In Guatemala.the President. was ἢ loyal. to. the people, but the army staff. was. disloyal ‘and:..they lost. In. Cuba.we ‘have a different situation... There, we. have a new.state apparatus and a.new army. In, Paraguay, Santo: Domingo, and. Nicaragua it is..impossible to ‘achieve: independence peacefully. But in. Argentina, Ecuador and.Columbia. there..are repressions,it is true, but .we cannot say.what road they.should’ follow. In. the’ march..of events it may be. that no armed ‘struggle will be.necessary but.:since.-we,.cannot speak.for.the concrete .situation, in. the tuture. we cannot. Say. any.more than what.we .are, Saying.
“In .our. opinion. the Chinese misinterpretation of the 20th - Congress can.turh this problem of. transition: into.a dogma. Keep..in -mind..that..circumstances may change.

HELD IN MOSCOW, RUSSIA, . ΒΝ
ΟΝ OCTOBER 22, “1960 | “Just to give you an idea of the number of amendments
we had, I will recite only the more important ones, On the
question of characterization of the present epoch, we dealt
with 120 amendments, On ‘the crisis of capitalism, there were
66 amendments. Οὐ the question of peaceful co-existence,
{there were 122 amendments. ‘There were 45 amendments on the
cult of the. personality and scores of amendments and
statements on various other problems handled in the draft
such as revisionism. and-dogmatism.. Just to indicate how
hard the Secretariat worked and why it was time consuming,
and many days. were 12 hour days or more,, we took two days
on a few paragraphs concerning revisionism and dogmatism.
“This joint work in producing a document. helped all of us. We elaborated the more important problems and theses, The document should help all the Marxist-Leninist Parties, There were delegates on the Secretariat from the socialist countries, the capitalist countries and from the newly indépéndent countries, ‘This iadé it. possible to get the views of the entire world. -The Secretariat tried not to expand the dociment so that its brevity would be more useful, .We therefore, tried to put important thoughts in a nutshell with a vigorous. style. ‘While the draft sequence
rT wee cee
itself has been éexpandéd and the amount ‘of words increased,
“Phe CPSU introduced an amendment dealing with revisionism, In this amendment, the CPSU exposed the subversive activities and the anti-Marxist-Leninist practices of Yugoslavia,
“From time to time, sub-committees met in order to — elaborate or combine views. Just to mention a few, there were sub-committees on the crisis of capitalism, on disarmament and on the transition to socialisn, -We had some very heated debates and. sometimes the discussion was so sharp that wé postponed conclusions. to make it possible for. people to cool
off. We developed, finally, some new formulas and arrived at some unanimity in some sections of the draft, ~~

“We particularly agreed on the peculiarities of the epoch, on disarmament, etc, We also outlined in greater detail, the mutual relations of the socialist countries, excluding wax from our time and revolution in underdeveloped countries.. We also decided that ‘each Communist Party (CP) determines its own revolution, on the basis of the historic conditions, on the basis of. the concrete ‘situations in each country and aiso on the general world situation,
ι" ᾿
‘This document is now the document of the conference, The majority achieved unity on the document, On sections: one; two and four, there are no differences of opinion, There are however, a few problems that still need to be ironed out in the third section, In the fifth section, we do have. some sharp disagreement,
“The CP of China (CPC) said that it was necessary to add some new Ἢ Lormulations ita. ‘the fifth -section., The Chinese Comradés received some’ Support from Viet Nati and ‘Korea, Other Parties insisted ‘on expansion, The CP of Czechoslovakia wanted more on. the- cooperation. of the socialist ‘states. Both the delegations o£ the CP of Czechoslovakia and the Polish United -Workers'. - Party insisted that. we deal with the 20th and 215} Congresses of the CPSU, Most 411 fraternal parties thought that we should include ‘these ideas of the CP ‘of ° Czechoslovakia and the Polish United Workers ' Party into the draft, The CPC objected, After a diséussion,. these ideas were ‘included in the draft -and the. representatives.-of the CPC: said that they will not object to this, The representative of .the CP of Indonesia had said that this problem of the 20th and 21st Congresses of the. CPSU should be striken from the draft,
“On the question of the cult of personality, the -- majority wanted it as it ‘is in the draft. Only the represen- tatives of the Albanian Party. of Labor objected and the ~ representative of the-CP. of Indonesia thought. that .leaving it.
‘out .of the draft would prevent .arguments,. However, the
overwhelming majority of. the Secretariat agreed to ) keep the phrasing as it is in.the draft. ~~ _

EDITORIAL COMMISSION HELD IN MOSCOW, RUSSIA, ON OCTOBER. 22, 1960
‘On Yugoslavian revisionism, most Parties agreed to keep it. as it.was in the original CPSU text, The CPC, however, insisted that we eliminate the phrase, national Communism, and ‘substitute for this phrase, bourgeois nationalism, I repeat, the idéa of national Communism remains as it was in the text of the CPSU draft,
“I must inform the meeting that it was impossible to reach unity on the question of factionalism. Comrade Anibal Escalante from Cuba and' Comrade Mario Alves of Brazil offered amendments to modify this section on factionalism, Although these amendments were acceptable to the body as a whole, there were some Parties which were | against them. All’ Parties accepted the Cuban and Brazilian ‘formulations with the exception of the following Parties, Which wanted this section on factionalism radically modified
or eliminated:
1) The CPC, which proposed its own amendment. 2) The CP of Australia,
3) The Albanian Party of Labor,
4) The CP of Japan,
5) The Korean Party of Labor,
6) The Workers’ Party of Viet Nam, 7) The CP of Indonesia,
‘For the first time in the history of the inter- national movement, we have had such a preparatory conference, I am sure that this conference has produced a document that ghould serve as a basis for the..bigger conference. ahead,
“I want to conclude by telling you that we reached ~ agreement on the major part of the document. We have a few things left to resolve,’

SESSION OF THE MEETING OF THE EDITORIAL COMMISSION HELD IN MOSCOW, RUSSIA,
ON OCTOBER. 22, 1960
“We believe that in edopting a document we should use the method that would satisfy all. In the past, this was the most efficient method, We would keep on meating until we got results and unanimity, " )
. DPhrough the joint efforts of.all the Darties on the Secretariat, some parts of the draft that were inadequate
‘have been improved, For exemple, the first section has been
strengthened and improved as regards the question of unity against the common enemy, imperialism, We have also improved the part dealing with the. present epoch, the part’ dealing with war and also. the part. dealing with the transition to socialisn,
“However, the. CPC regrets that we were unable. to reach
‘agreement. on some important questions of principle.
‘“Girst, on the question of solidarity, we hold it is inappropriate to put in the draft the part on factionalisn, We ‘believe that this question should be placed, as in the Moscow Declaration of 1957, in the form of unity and equality,
‘Qur delegation gave the Secretariat -detailed amendments and we were’ disappointed that they were not . adopted, Why .are you against such formuletions on factionalism? We believe that without these formulations we would appear divided in front of our enemy. We: would be using the method of sowing disunity instead of unity,
‘Secondly, regarding the all around affirmation of the. 20th and .21ist Congresses of the CPSU in the draft document, we repeat that we always held that these Congresses have historical importance. But we hold that each Party decides for itself how to make use of documents, decisions and Congresses of other fraternal Parties. The present formulation has no place in an international document, .
We cannot agree with these certain estimates on the 20th and 21st Congresses and we will continue to ask that they be deleted from the document,

MEETING OF .THE EDITORIAL COMMISSION HELD IN MOSCOW, RUSSIA, ON OCTOBER 22; :1960 -
“thirdly, on the question of the real possibility of excluding. war from the life of society, we do not agree, We wanted something in the draft about guarantees, We thought that we had agreed on this but it seems that our agreement on this has .been disregarded, For example, you might have: put-in the draft a few sentences from Comrade Suslov's speech in which he deals‘ with this problem.”
At this point, TENG Hsiao-ping quoted from the Speech by Suslov, Immediately, Suslov and others charged that .TENG Hsiao-ping quoted a few words which had been taken out of context. Remarks of TENG Hsiao~ping continue.
‘on this question, of excluding war .from the life of society, we believe that & more adequate formulation is necessary.
- ‘Besides these disagreements I have enumerated, we have some reservations on certain formulations and we ~~ 7 would like to exchange opinions on. these, if not now, at some other time. | - ,
‘The achievements of this me eting prove that if ‘there is a desire for unity, agreements can. -be achicved. tho-r ede er αν.
“we will give a report to vin! central Committee on this. document, We hope that the search for avenues οὗ unity will continue. This meeting was .a beginning and can help make the November meeting a success. The CPC, thinks that we can face the common enemy ἰοξοῦνον and we will

At the conclusion of the remarks of TENG Hstao-ping, Mikhail Suslov said, “there was only one proposal we voted
on and that was the report of the Secretariat. _As régards. _
__the three questions Comrade TENG Hsiao-ping enumerated and
said that there is no agreement on them, these have’ been — Cm defined clearly and there. is no necessity to go back to then.

When Suslov finished speaking, Hysni¥kapo, member, 4 SD of the, Politburo of the Albanian Party of Labor, jumped up and said, d, “YT agree that we have spoken in 1 favor of these a proposals but can't we have more time to express our opinions on the work of the Secretariat?

CONCLUDING SESSION OF THE MEETING ‘OF ‘COMMUNIST PARTIES AND WORKERS' PARTIES IN‘MOSCOMW, RUSSIA ON DECEMBER 1, 1960
A source, who has furnished reliable information in the past, has furnished the following information:
On November 28, 1960, the Editorial Committee of the meeting of 81 Communist Parties and Workers' Parties began to work on. a seriés of amendments to the draft declaration, which had. been originally submitted, by the Central Committee of the Communist Party_of thé Soviet Union (CCCPSU) and. amended by the Editorial Commission consisting of représentatives of 26 Communist Parties and Workers’ Parties in Moscow, Russia ‘in October, 1960. There were hundreds of amendments. By December 1, 1960 a few amendments . had. been accepted and’ some agreement had been reached. There was : no basic change in the draft. approved by the Editorial Commission, The Editorial Committee of the November meeting did compromise’ with the Communist Party of China by dividing. Section 5 of the draft into two parts and adding a sixth section. The -part dealing with factionalism was rewritten in generalized terms and the amended decument was presented in behalf of the Editorial Committee on December 1, 1960 to the meeting of the representatives of the 81 Communist Parties and Workers' Parties by Mikhail Suslov, member of the Presidium and a Secretary of the CCCPSU.
This final session on December 1, 1960 was held, as were ail previous sessions of this meeting, in St. George Hall in the Kremlin in Moscow, Russia,

history of our movement hes a single document been prepared so thoroughly.
"All the continents were represented, Twenty~six
Parties participated in the editing while 811 the other delegates
were consulted, Thirty-two fraternal Parties suggested amendments
in writing. ‘All were examined and caréfully discussed. Most anendments were not aimed at the main points in the draft. They
only reinforced the primary object of the document and this conference, helped to consolidate the Communist Parties’ and gave expression ‘to
‘the Marxist-Leninist will to unite us.
"We. faced many difficulties and searched for agreement, ALL ‘agreed in the entirety. This is the unanimous will of all the -Parties from 811 areas of the. globe, ~The majority. of the ‘Parties shared in the discussions. There is no need to deal with all the amendments, but the Editorial Committee found answers ‘to many questions on substantial features of Marxism-Leninism, The Editorial Committee found ways of consolidating the unity of the primary objectives,.the needs of the working class movement and the necessity for unity to repel attacks:
"We were 811 united by the great teachings of Marxism- Leninism. All agreed on the observance of the decisions arrived at by 811 Parties. We, therefore, have unity in our ranks; unity of will and action. -This is the supreme duty of the international Communist movement. These propositions rest on the. granite founda- tion of Marxism-Leninism. Lenin always stressed these. (Volume .31 of the Collected Works of Lenin),
"We also found an answer to the question of the cult of the personality as well as the 20th Congress of the Communist Party of the: Soviet Union. -We reproduced in the draft declaration the purposes of the Moscow: Declaration of 1957. We reached an agreement. on the assessment of the peace movement. Thus. we concluded that the peace movement today is the broadest movement of our times.
"We have also reached an agreement on the role of the
national bourgeoisie, as well as the attitude of the Comnunist Parties to the electoral bodies of the bourgeoisie.

211 Parties. The main content of this document 15. devoted to
the peculiarities of the present epoch. We mapped out further tasks for the liquidation of colonies. -. We have worked out an
appeal for the people to prevent ‘war.
"We are the most constant champions of the masses for peace, .We will heighten the. struggle of the masses for peace, International solidarity has. reached new heights. - All delegations present had‘ an opportunity to speak and express themselves. We have reached unity in the fight against imperialism,:for peace, for liberation, and for consolidation of the socialist camp. We have enriched the 1957 Moscow Declaration on the vital problems of our time, . This declaration will become, Like the 1957 Deciaration,
a vital program: -for.-all -the -Parties, . |
"The Communist Parties. are developing ideological. unity. The socialist camp is solving its problens and is more united. for peace. We have a common platform in this document. The discussion
is over. Now we must move ahead under the banner of these collective-~
ly worked out decisions. We must implement them; translate them into reality.
"This document is a collective asset. We must be guided by the formulas in this document. We are sure it will be accepted by all the Parties, The. bourgeois press gave weight to the idea of a split in our ranks. The United States especially rejoiced.
Now the imperialists will be bitterly disappointed. These resolutions
are imbued with the Communist struggle for’ peace and socialism.
"The CPSU will discharge its duty. Our relations with China will be good and maybe even better than in the past. We “ὦ hope that we will meet with the same feeling on the part of the Communist Party of China. We aré all equals as Parties, but there. is’ such a ‘thing as responsibility, and we ail share this responsibi-
lity. We, and the Chinese, have a bigger share of. the responsibility;
more than the other fraternal Parties.

Party representatives who were guests of the Central Committee of the Commiunist Party of the Soviet Union (CCCPSU), This hotel is a nodern six-story building located.east of the Foreign Office and near the main polyclinic in Moscow,
The CCCPSU did not directly participate in this meeting, but did provide a translator who only occasionally took notes.

The Communist Party of Mexico just went through a terrible crisis, Few know what happéned in Mexico and we would like to know.’

Arismendi spoke again and said that if the agenda depends upon a time element, let us. determine how much time each delegate can spend at this meeting.

Escalante spoke again, stating“we can fix a time Limit for each speaker and not all persons present and not all Parties need to speak.”
The General Secretary of the Guatemala Party of Labor, whose name is not known, suggested that there should be a concrete discussion around the Cuban Revolution. “A time Limit for each speaker will be opposed and will not be effective. If we do not know what topic each represent- ative will speak about and if we let a representative of each Party speak, we will just have a hodgepodge instead of concentrating on some important problems.”

ON THE CURRENT SITUATION IN . THE -COMMUNIST PARTY OF BRAZIL AND IN BRAZIL. BY LUIS ‘CARLOS
PRESTES, GENERAL SECRETARY OF THE: COMMUNIST -PARTY ‘OF:. BRAZIL
Luis Carlos Prestes is undoubtedly the best known Communist personality in all. of Latin America. In Communist. circles, as well as other circles .in Brazil; he is known as the. Brazilian Knight because of. his long history of struggle. At one time he was an officer in the Brazilian Army but he has.-been a: Communist for many decades,
The following is the essence of his remarks,
"In Brazil, the law still says that it is a crime to organize. a Communist Party but de facto the Party continues to work, The leaders of. the Party continue to ‘work .but. when they speak in public they do not talk in the name of the-Party. They say, we of the Communists. Even when I speak, I use the. same terminology and do not say that I speak for the Communist Party. When we printéd the resolution from our recently held Party Congress, we printed it as a draft of Communists and not
in the name of the Communist Party.
"We do have a national office in Brazil, It is. the Communist Party office but it.is not called the national office. It is called the office of Carlos Prestes. ἥδ publish a magazine, which ‘is actually ‘an organ of the Communist Party, but it. is not’ designated as such, The title of the magazine is !Novous Rumos', meaning new direction, It is published in the office of the editor, who is Mallegaro. Mallegaro attended the 21st Congress of the CPSU.
"In regard to elections in Brazil, the law prohibits Communist Party candidates. Therefore, we register Communist
’ Party candidates in bourgeois’.« parties, chiefly in the Labor
Party. It is mainly in this party, which.is led by Joao Goulart,
the Vice-President of Brazil, that the Communists find- refuge διά. continue their work.. We work in other parties too.:and even -- have some deputies in Parliament. Since the deputies in.
penetrated. every segment of the population.

Parliament have. offices, we. utilize their offices in order to
get around the law which. prohibits the organization of a
Communist Party.
"The Brazilian Communists have a great influence amongst the trade unions. We control many trade unions and Student. bodies, We have great influence amongst the public and government employees and have developed a great influence among the army officers in Brazil,
"You might ask how the Communist Party can play such a role. In Brazil at the present time, there is what.might be called an, equilibrium of forces. All of the main parties are equal. For this reason, the Brazilian, Communist Party, with its. influence, can tip the scale for one side. or the other, Therefore; this Party. cannot be ignored. On the one side‘ there are the reactionaries, the landlords. On the other side are the workers, the petty bourgeoisie, even the big section of the patriotic bourgeoisie, the students and the peasants. At this stage of development in Brazil, the reactionaries cannot impose their rule. But the progressive forces cannot impose _ their program or rule either, ‘But the international situation, the complications that face the United States the world over, makes things favorable for a change in Brazil, naturally in favor of the Communists.
"The elections took place’ from the third of October to the tenth of November, . These elections. were very important, Since then, one million. workers have participated in strikes. Involved in these strikes were the railroad workers, cement workers, dock workers, metal workers, ete. All these strikes have. ended: in victories for the strikers. In Sao Paulo, Brazil, some officers and sergeants in the armed services were arrested because they wanted higher pay and because they protested against the low pay. -This.indicates that the. discontent has

"Phe economic and financial situation in Brazil is very difficult. Inflation is. one of the most pressing problems, Now ‘you can buy or get 200 cruzeiros for the dollar. In 1956,
cruzeiros for the dollar. The problems in Brazil demand radical measures against imperialism. because the profits in Brazil leave the country and go to the United States monopolies. Therefore, there is a very serious deficit. There is a deficit not only in running the government but a deficit in the balance of. payments which continues. to aggravate. the economic ‘and social crises. .

migration. from thé north to the. south and this migration increases
a drought. Therefore, the ‘big problem in Brazil. is that of land reform. The fight for the land is the chief issue;
"The labor movement is growing too, but it is. necessary to know that the labor and tradé union movement is linked to. the Labor Ministry in Brazil. The trade unions are fighting for independence from government control and for the establishment of a Trade .Union Center which they have, in fact, established. “- We have in Brazil what are called Vertical Trade Union Confederations, such as metal, transport, and others, but no real national..center of the trade unions. In each state they do hold trade union congresses and they act as permanent centers. But; last August for the first time a National.Congress of Trade Unions was. called. 2,500 responded. These came chiefly from various state organizations although some Vertical Trade Unions were represented.too, Nine national organizations calied this

They set up ἃ permanent organization in the form of a national committee. Actually, this Trade Union Center is a united front of the Communists and the Labor Party but it also includes some reactionaries, Some of these reactionaries are in this Trade Union Center to try to sabotage its functions but they
are kept going by the pressure of the workers. They do not dare. to desert and they have to be careful as to how they engage in reactionary pressures. This Congress was the first step for areal, genuine Trade Union Center or Confederation in Brazil.
"A big effort is being made by the Communists and. others to try to change the law to permit the organization of a Trade Union Center. This law is a han@wover from the .old Getulio Vargas regime. Also, international affiliation is not permitted in Brazil, Therefore, the trade unions are not affiliated formally to any international organization. But the law does permit international affiliation to the Inter- American Workers Regional Organization. The American Federation of Labor-Congress of. Industrial Organizatiorm (AFL-CIO) is active in this organization, This organization is called ORIT,.
"When Brazilian trade union delegates go to meetings of ORIT they are pledged to a program and they always raise the question of unity and they sometimes raise the question of working with the World Federation of Trade Unions or affiliating with it. At this last August Brazilian Trade Union Congress they said that they will continue to go to meetings of ORIT but that they will also go to meetings of the World Federation of Trade Unions. The World Federation of Trade Unions had fraternal delegates at this Brazilian Trade Union Congress that I have referred to. Because of such representation on the part of the World Federation of Trade Unions, the representatives from ORIT walked out of the Congress. The United States Embassy representation at this Trade Union Congress also walked out, and there were attacks against labor in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo because of
this Congress. OE

"United States imperialism is conducting: a fight against the trade union movement in Brazil, For example; most trade union contracts, and if there are no contracts it. is. the understanding, provide for 15 legal holidays during - ’ the year. The United States mazopolies are trying to do away with this law. Naturally the United States ‘industrialists are not very popular because of this. There is also a law in Brazil which says that no one can be fired, if he has worked in some establishment for ten years, without severance pay that amounts to at least 20 months wages. If-you have worked -for 15 years,. you get. 30 months. severance pay. The United States imperialists are fighting even this particular law and are trying to change it. This is an old -concession given by Vargas to the working people,
"Vargas, at. one time before his déath, threatened - — nationalization. of the utilities and oil industries. ΟῚ is the big problem in Brazil. It is a state. monopoly. No concessions ‘have been given and it, is forbidden by law: to give concessions in.oil. Brazil has to import two-thirds of its oil from abroad. It spends 300 million dollars a year for oil and most of it goes to the big Rockefeller interests. These oil monopolies of the United States refuse to help Brazil to prospect for oil although we know there is. oil in Brazil.
They refuse ἕο. 5611 us refining machinery. -At the. present time, despite -all these difficulties, most of the oil is refined in Brazil,
"Many of the governors in. the. various. states of Brazil have been’elected. with the open support of the Communists. This is: true in Rio Grande.do Sul,. Pernambuco, ‘Rio Grande. do Norte, Para, Santa,Catarina, and Goias. Despite this: influence. of the. Party,. the Party is still, 6n the statute books, illegal. . However,,. . the relations, especially with Goulart,..are very good,. Not all the_politicians are labor politicians or depend on labor.

Kubitschek is ἃ social democrat and belongs to the Social Democratic Party. Actually the name means nothing because.
the big: landlords control it. But,even in this Party of Kubitschek, the Social Democratic Party, there is a large section of the patriotic bourgeoisie which is anti-imperialist, against the United States, for protection of the natural ‘resources, and for independence in general.
"In the October, 1960 election, the Communists supported candidate: Henrique Lott. He was the Minister of Wax for Kubitschek, the outgoing President. Lott was defeated for President. Quadros,. the successful candidate, received five and one-half million votes. Lott. got just a little over four million votes. But these four million votes were of a certain quality. It was very difficult to get support for Lott. But since Lott was the candidate for the nationalist” — forces and Quadros was considered the. candidate of the. United States monopolies, he was looked upon as a Brazilian Frondizi. Although ‘Quadros traveled to Moscow and to- Havana, he did this ‘to get. votes and he made many promises, Some people thought -he may be a Brazilian Fidel but I can, tell you, that this is, not. so. The votes for Lott were very conscious, anti-imperialist votes. In 1945, the Party. had a. candidate but he did not run in the name of the Communist Party. But this year, because of broader’ support and because of a growing national anti- United States consciousness, Lott was able to draw four million votes. Ὁ
"There. are 300. deputies in. the Brazilian Parliament. One -hundred and thirty of these can definitely be said to be nationalists and take an anti-imperialist position. Pressures are now developing to change the government policies; ‘to begin, with to change the foreign policy of ‘the Brazilian government}; Ὁ also to. change its personnel. ~ There is. a big base for this movement. Broad united fronts. dre developing ali. over Brazil, made, up of workers, peasants, patriots, army officers: and others.

"There was a period not long ago when some sections wanted to suspend the Constitution, A big movement developed among the army officers, the deputies, and amongst the working class and they stopped this effort to suspend the Constitution. ΤῈ the reactionaries would have suspended the Constitution, they would have been faced with an open social upheaval in Brazil and
the same direction as in Cuba although our circumstances are different. We Communists in Brazil are still fighting to utilize every legal possibility, every Parliamentary activity, and, as you. know from previous reports and discussions we have had, we succeeded in defeating our leftists in the Party. We, of course,. cleaned out the revisionists. Although some of the leftists are still in our Central Committee, they have very little influence and power. As far--as the. prospects. for the Party are concerned, we consider them bright and we would like to have better connections with you in the United States, We should keep each. other informed, We should see that we exchange our newspapers and magazines more regularly. Of course, if there are documents of importance that you think we ought to read, some policies that we should know about,. please see to
it that we receive them. We will do the same. We also want. to invite the American Party to send someone to Brazil to study
especially will be welcome if you have the opportunity to come to Brazil. The reason we say send someone is because at the present time we know that your reactionary bourgeoisie would not permit a well known leading Communist to come from your country.

"Many peasants and others have migrated ‘from Haiti to Cuba. ~There is tremendous enthusiasm in Haiti for the Cuban Revolution, The relationS between Cuba and: Haiti have always been good. The Haitian peasants have an anti-~feudal tradition, They also have an old anti-slave tradition, Even in the old, old days, they used the slogan, the land belongs. to those who till it, In 1830, there was a big Struggle in Haiti and a primitive commune was &Stablished. Already in 1905 there was a big struggle for land reform in Haiti. In the 1930s, the dictatorship .of the -feudal land owners was used against not only the peasants. but even ‘the merchants and the intellectuals. The peasants have an. anti-feudal movement; the merchants have an. anti-feudal. movement, ‘But because: of segregation and color, these movements never merged. Now there are some Negro land
owners. However, the present Negro bourgeoisie is mulatto and
the land. owners are using color discrimination to keep their grip on everything. I want to emphasize that the mulattoes
are the rich in Haiti: The Negroes are the’ very poor. “There στ᾿

"In. 1954, we reorganized our Party which, was in bad
‘shape. because it suffered from Browderism. We reorganized when
we understood, the peasant problem, Our Party was really born in 1939,. and our first leader was Jaquisimo (phonetic).
"There are four and one-half million people in Haiti. ‘The total income of the country is so small that the government has to get money from United States. imperialism to pay the
government functionaries. The ‘rulers of the country did, not
even bother to organize'their economy, It. is against their class. interests. Our- Party was divided into a left and. right
‘wing and we. did not raise the question of anti-imperialism,
The. lefts would shout that all we need to talk about is freedom and socialism: Yet in a city like Port-au-Prince with a

this has caused them to be less passive,

"Last October we had a big demonstration celebrating independence and we linked this to Cuban solidarity. Last year, . the .students were massacred and they could not hold their celebration. The President of Ecuador arrived in Quito, Ecuador, at the same time as the Cuban Ambassador, The demonstration for the Cuban was just .as big, if not bigger, than that for the President,” In the last election we had a broad united front. This united front was for the Cuban Revolution and it forced the opposition to talk about the Cuban Revolution in order to retain mass. support.
. "Our Party paper, the. weekly !El ῬυΘΡΙΟῖ, systematically calls for the. support of the Cuban Revolution, The magazine ‘Manana’:also stresses independence for the Cuban Revolution. ‘EL Hora' in the provinces is for Cuba and speaks for the students and’ others, On the radio too, the united front hag -
a trade union hour and in their broadcasts something is usually said for the Cuban Revolution.
"There are many people in Ecuador who are trying to get to Cuba, Some even walk to other countries trying to. find _ their way to Cuba. In any case, many. people want to.get to.
Cuba,
"I want to remind the comrades present here’ not to forget the Inter-American Conference. Originally we scheduled it for 1959, then we talked of 1960, now we hear talk of March, 1961, in Quito, The imperialists want to do in Quito what. they did in Caracas. They want to organize against. Cuba, They want to.use this Inter-American Conference. against the revolution,
"Before I conclude, I want .to say that it is necessary that we engage in more self-criticism because if everything we do. for. solidarity with Cuba is good, then what are we talking about here? Finally, Fidei is very popular in Ecuador, We believe he could even be elected President in Ecuador, as he might be in some other Latin American countries. There are two popular words in Latin America and these are Fidel and sputnik.

Remarks of Luis Carlos Prestes
The next Speaker was Luis Carlos es General
wecretary of the ΟΡ οὐ Brazil, The follow [ g is. the: essence
of his renarks:
"We agree with Anibal Escalante of the People’ Εἰ Socialist Party on the international importance of the Cuban Revolution, It also has some great significance in our national situation. We consider it. our duty to study’ the Cuban Revolution. We have just. gotten through.a very hard fight against revisionism and dogmatism in the CP of Brazil, Life if richer than theory and the Cuban Revolution is: proot of that.
"In Brazil too, we will have to learn how to. fight — the Plattists. We are, therefore, receiving, inspiration and learning lessons on how a united front can fight and defeat.
a dictatorship. In Brazil, some CP members: consider that the united front should be made ‘up only of the left and. must be. = “ guided only by the CP, We will clear this question up with.
the example of Cuba. In Cuba, the Party fought against dictator- ship and for a new regime. In Brazil, some. Communists still think that we need to fight. for a people's democracy. The example of Cuba proved that we can start with a. new government and gradually move to socialism.
"This example of the Cuban Reyolution has helped us fight our dogmatists and sectarians. This problem was resolved at the last Party congress where we adopted..a. program that can be summarized as follows:
l. For land reform.
2. Against imperialisn,
3. For national independence.

way or the other way, which is, of course, the Stroessner way. This has divided the upper .classes, We have a movement in Paraguay called the 14th of May. movement... It 1s ‘similar’ to
the July. 26th movement in Cuba, Although relatively new, it
is a united front for national liberation, The big bourgeoisie has deserted the united front..and has deserted the 14th of
May moverient, But the left. of the. petty bourgeoisie picked
up. the. banner, The opposition. is divided.
“Some say let us use the Colombian. way, a bi-party administration, Others say, let us use the Cuban way. There are those.who say they favor guerrilla war with. outside support.. We. favor a base amongst. the people, particularly the peasants,
- We are for the united front but it is not a signed or formal united front, We place our stress on the mass movement and the development of this movement, We are for a new government, a government that will be democratic and will also. establish relations with Cuba, We do not ask for a government -exactly like Cuba's but we’ orient the masses ih ‘the diréction of the ‘Cuban way,
"This policy which I outlined is important for us | because there are Putschist tendencies and it would be. bad if these Putschist tendencies. would prevail just as it would: ‘be bad if the tendencies for compromise with dictatorship would prevail. Therefore, we ask for democratization and in this way to break up the military apparatus and the dictatorship,
“We cannot, duplicate Cuba but we can show results and in the end the results may be the same as in Cuba. But we have to be careful how we place these problems because there are sections in the population which are scared of expropriation and we cannot drive these people away. When we place these problems, we must not place them in a defensive way, We-.even have to. show how the bourgeolsie..has betrayed our country.
They did not merely turn their back on their country. but betrayed it.
"The Cuban Revolution is now correcting leftism. This. helps us. We of the CP of Paraguay say that the. Cuban

"f would like. to see discussion where we engage in self-criticism because’ this is needed too, . Some Latin Americans are‘ doubtful of the leadership of the revolution in Cuba. They ask,.where is. the Party? I am a-.witness that it is there, and comrade. Anibal Esealante gave a good outline of the exact. situation,
"Our Party was too inexperienced to guide. the 111. fated expedition and in that expedition we lost six members of the Central Committee. as well.as other ‘comrades, But this was not in vain. We have learned a lot, . We are‘a small Party but when the Guatemalan Revolution took place; we were-in it,. -When the Venezuelan Revolution took place, we.were in it. Now we are in the. Cuban Revolution. But we must remind you again that there are not too many of us left"..

| . . "Regarding. the: activity of Cuban. diplomats. .in

- ing a new corps. of diplomatic personnel, It is not easy Ὁ
to ‘have a.sorps for the revolution that. has. been trained in
diplomacy and that understands all the. facets: of. the. Cuban
Revolution, Some of. these so-called: diplomats, .like -in
Bolivia, cooperate too much. and go beyond ‘diplomatic bounds,.
-Some, ‘as reflected in. the complaint.:from Brazil, and in

"Regarding the complaints that there are residing “soe in.

But I want to tell you Comrades ‘that whatever’ we: will do in “ using some people who happen to reside in;Cuba, or in Havana, we will. not be. interfering | in other Party's affairs, Some ‘of. them come to us: and ask that they -be.fed and that they. be taught. - ‘They: want. to go to'school, We ‘are. very ‘careful: in choosing some: of. these people, sending them to school and even feeding: ‘them, ‘So be at ease Comrades ,. “we, +will try to: do everything ‘possible. not to develop a. ‘corps . that night be a hindrance, to you. instead Of “ἃ help. ᾽ .

receive our solidarity chiefly from Latin America, it will be difficult for the United States to attack. We need this solidarity to prevent other Latin American countries from joining the. attack against us or allowing the United States a free hand.
"What can the other countries, especially the Parties which have influence, do if the eneny attacks?. Pamphlets, leaflets, literature of all sorts are all right, but we must all be prepared in ail countries to take part in more decisive actions. In some places, where the conditions are ripe and the influence of Cuba is strong, pressure can be put upon the governnents of. particular countries to make them change their policy or to make them take~a ‘more positive attitude or stand towards ‘Cuba.
"Jf the United States Marines should attack, there is going to be strong resistance. This period. of resistance will give the other Latin Americans time to mobilize, ‘to get help, etc. This. will be the time when other fronts can be created. I do not want to say in which countries, but we might say, as already discussed here, in places like Venezuela and J am sure in other countries.
"Our country has entered a new stage and is going
ahead, Our: ‘general perspective was correct and life now’ shows
that even in the Dominican Republic there are possibilities for the revolution. Some methods. of. solidarity have not been: answered or resolved. For example, the Latin American countries can give us more technicians and specialists.
You should know that the U.S.S.R. wants to-help but it is inadvisable that they send.us too many specialists. and experts and besides, there is the language problem. But if we get such aid from the Latin American countrigs; we can really. say out loud that we do have aid; we are receiving aid and. we can even say from what countries.

“Chile has sent us many such people and they are doing good work in Cuba, but I want to tell the comrades that. these specialists will even be. batter later on when their political understanding is improved as ‘they live and work in Cuba, Specialization is not enough. Ideology — is almost as important and we will make an effort to improye the tdeology of all the specialists that you send to us, whether Party, nen-Party, mere progressive, ΟΣ patriotic Latin American bourgeoisie.
"We need aid for agriculture, Therefore, send us - such specialists or tools that will help ws in agriculture,
We can-also use a. lot..of foodstuf?.. So if. there is any
work for solidarity with Guba going on in your countries,
.foodstuff;; can be collected as well as other things that
we need,
“I want to say something to the Guatemalan fomrades, It -is:‘our opinion that they can get wid. of the imperialist bases and they wlll know how to do this in Guatemala. We also know that the Ufited States imperialists have established bases in Honduras and that it is not going to be difficult to get wid of the Yankee bases in Honduras
“gither, if the comrades set their mind to this problem.
. Ags. we have indicated yesterday, wewll have a checkup in May. We are. going to see ‘how the. solidarity movenent is. developing and we will know. what.fuxrther steps to take,
"We have been speaking here of the necessity to
‘study the. Cuban Revolution, how the united front. developed,
how the trade union movement developed,. etc, Some of these. experiences might be useful for some-. countries.
For some countries. they might not be so useful, It was the
process which developed a leadership in Cuba. It was this
” leadership that influenced the speed of the revolution,

not only the Party, but the. leadership of the. July 26th Movement, and others who were for the revolution with sincerity, The Cuban. Revolution was the result not only
of objective. conditions, These objective conditions have existed for a long time. If only objective conditions. could nake a -revolution,. ἀξ would: be..a-mivacie,..: I:want to - emphasize. that the subjective work of leadership and masses of people who understand tactics are a very important: part of making. a revolution.
"You will recall, and we told you this sometime ago, that.we originally objected to Castro's attack in the palace, that is, when _he tried his coup, in the middle 1950's, Yet, looking back, from the objective point of view, we can say that this effort at. a coup has served to advance the revolution. Another thing, we did not agree with the date set for the landing im Cuba, but they, the July 26th Movenent , did not agree with us. And, of course, their losses were far too great, At that time we. lost 60 good People. Comrades, we do. not talk about these things in public, but it is necessary | to. keep such things in mind.
"In. our united front we have agreed not to publicize what you might call agreements. If we made our {understanding and agreements with the other elements in ) the revolution public, it would have helped, it might
still help, the anti-Communists. This is a good . experience, Other Parties should pay attention to this method. This approach of. not making things public or . pushing ourselves to the forefront, has helped us in Cuba.
"Now, we see things more clearly. We see a growing radicalization in Cuba. We see the development of nationalization, etc. We, do not speak and did not - speak 6f nationalization of industry. We did speak about the public utilities and why.they. should belong: to. the people. We ‘spoke about the,banks. and how they exploit.,;,: the psople. We taiked of Cuba for the Cubans. It was only later that..we undertook a big program of nationalization and we did this in the game of anti~imperialisn, self-defense

"When the workers and peasants ΠΡ becone
conscious, the’ national bourgeoisie is afraid. Naturally,
other Latin American countries, even if you have a different gituation, you Will go through a similar protess. ‘The hourgeoisie ay at first-be with you, then they. 111 “become scared. The bourgeoisie in Cuba became less’ enthusiastic as the revolution developed. The landlords. \ did not like the 50% cut in rents. Who expected them to like it? The landlords were opposéd to the agrarian reform, But-I-want to remind you. that at the beginning of our revolution, even the landlords shouted ‘long live: the revolution’, But later on, they ceased to shout or show any enthusiasm. But our tactics defeated the Plattists. I have told you that before. and - I.want to wepeat, it again, -

“Let me restate the tasks of the révolution: ”
"1) Task Number -One, or the chief task, is to maintain our unity at 41] costs.” Too, we must. study’ ‘the. relation between the objective and subjective factors in Cuba,
"2) Take over, as we did, the state apparatus. This is very important.

At this point, Escalante was interrupted. The General, Secretary of the CP.of Paraguay, whose identity is not known, asked Escalante to explain why they do‘not. | hold. ‘elections in Cuba and how they explain this.to the people, Escalante proceeded to- explain: and the' following _is the essence. of his remarks.
"In the People's Democracies. in. the countries..of | eastern Europe, they did not immediately. use. the election methods after they overthrew the bourgeoisie, ‘or.even if they took power peacefully, together with other Parties, But keep in mind, that the: conditions: -in these .countries were different than in Cuba, | But above all, keep in-mind, the: fact that the Soviet. Arny: was present ‘and this. could, to gome extent, guarantee the outcome of the elections. We in ‘Cuba, think that the conditions. are. not ripe for elections. When all the. counter-réevolutionaries and their: Parties | are. liquidated, when their influence is dissipated completely, we can have an election. At this earlier. stage of the revolution, . perliament would have been an obstacle to us-and to the adne of the revolution, :
"The: important. thing. is that we. have the support . of the masses, ‘They gave 8411. power to sthe.

BARKOVSKY reminded CG. 5824-s* that when they had
dase met in Moscow BARKOVSKY: had informed CG 5824-s* that it
was imperative that NY 694-S* move his office to another _ location, inasmuch as the ‘Soviets felt that. the Location. of
NY 694-S*4s present. office constitutes, a security hazard as regards meetings. between BARKOVSKY and NY 694-s*, BARKOVSKY inquired whether NY 694-s* as. yet. -had acquired a new: office. CG 5824-s* told, BARKOVSKY ‘that ΝΥ 694-S* is looking for a. new location, but as yet has not found a suitable one, He pointed out that it is not easy to: find office.:space such as, NY 694-51
requires. They discussed possible locations where NY 994- S*
might establish a new office.
’ CG 5824-g* suggested the area in the: 50:"'s in’ New York City; but BARKOVSKY - stated that this: area was too close to the Soviet UN Headquarters. CG 5824-s* then. suggested. the area.

that: generally the office should’ be located in an atea not

BY 694-s% should. proceed from the Townhouse Restaurant as he as in the past, turning left and walking until BARKOVSKY should contact him, |
BARKOVSKY said that on Friday, February 3, 1961,
, NY 694-s* should have ἀπ. his possession~-but, not: with him-- a hired car, and that the New York informant should be able at that time to give him a description of the said car and the license number thereof. BARKOVSKY stated that the reason for making this request was that he would arrange a second. meeting with NY 694-s*, to be held several days .after the
_ £irst meeting, with the New York informant, and that on the. second meeting, it would be necessary that NY 694-S* have the hired. car with him.
BARKOVSKY inquired whether or not CG 5824-s* had properly "cleaned himseif" before meeting BARKOVSKY and whether there had been any indication that CG 5824-s* had been under Surveillance, CG 5824-s* assured BARKOVSKY that he had "cleaned himself", and that, to the best of his knowledge, he had not been under surveillance.

referring to the aforesaid National Committee meeting.
CG 5824-s* explained to BARKOVSKY that CPUSA contact , with the Cuban CP had been severed and that the Canadian CP / Was being requested to use its channels to maintain contact between the CPUSA and the CP of Cuba. “BARKOVSKY was asked to transmit this information to the Soviets.
CG 5824-s* also told BARKOVSKY that JIM ALLEN, who has beén in the Soviet Union, has written a letter to GUS : HALL, reflecting that ALLEN would Like to go to Peiping, China, / for a visit.

that in the event of an emergency, when possibly BARKOVSKY
Y might not be able to contact either CG 5824-s* or NY 694-s*, | BARKOVSKY should make contact with ALEXANDER TRACHTENBERG.
Before separating, BARKOVSKY suggested to CG 5824-s* _that in about two months, the Chicago informant. contact him ‘for the purpose of arranging another meeting.
The NYO will attempt to arrange for technical 7 coverage of the automobile which NY 694-S* is to drive when ὙΠ he meets BARKOVSKY pursuant to arrangements made by CG 5824-s%. By xeason of the nature of the above informant, {no letterhead memorandum is being submitted herewith,

Many things that he said will be useful to us and we are going to take into account the Cuban experience. There are however, two concrete problems in Argentina that I want to discuss and I believe that Escalante was not clear enough regarding the Situation in Argentina.
"We should be very careful when we speak of Latin America .in general, We can speak of the Cuban way but we speak of it in a sense that the Cuban way means that certain deep structural changes have taken place in the economic and social Life. We in Argentina are studying the, Cuban Revolution as it was outlined in the report of Blas Roca at the 8th Assembly of the People's Socialist Party of Cuba. We have many problems and things in common but yet‘there are many differences between Cuba and Argentina as countries, and, of course, in the class relationships, It would therefore be dangerous to merely copy tactical questions. Escalante did not take into account certain differences between Argentina and Cuba as they relate, let us Say, to the differences of relations with what we call reformists.
"There is another problem that I believe Escalante did not take fully into account. The 20th Congress of the CPSU did point to the peaceful road to socialism, That is, the CPSU sald that there is a peaceful possibility for revolution. The 1957 Moscow Declaration and the present declaration that we have just endorsed also show: that a peaceful path to socialism is more possible today because of the changed relation of forces in the world. Of course, the Moscow Declaration as well as the present declaration pointed to the possibility that there will be resistance by the bourgeoisie and the degree of resistance may determine how peaceful a revolution may be. If the democratic way is closed then the workers must use the other way, that is, the non-peaceful way. But, in our opinion, we should not weaken this basic formulation without taking tattical formulism into consideration and this we should consider on the basis of the Situation in each particular country.
"In Argentina we are struggling against the oligarchy, but we are fighting for peace and democracy. Sometimes we are united with a section of the bourgeoisie, particularly the petty
REMARKS BY RUDOLFO GHIOLDI OF THE CP OF ARGENTINA AND ARNOLDO MARTINEZ VERDUGO OF THE CP OF MEXICO AT A MEETING IN MOSCOW OF REPRESENTATIVES , OF COMMUNIST PARTIES IN LATIN AMERICA
bourgeoisie. We must always remember that in Argentina the
_ united front is a fact but we also remember that the most important thing, the main thing, is the hegemony of the
proletariat.. , ,
"The. Cuban experience is good, as related here, by Comrade Anibal Escalante, but we must not turn the. Cuban experience into a schematic thesis applicable to all countries in 411 situations, The masses in. each country have their experience ideologically and of course have their own bourgeoisie and its’.experience ‘is different from that of its bourgeoisie. This means there must be a fight on. thepart. of the working class for hegemony, If the Party is in the lead and if the Party bases itself on Marxism-Leninism then the national and the small bourgeoisie cannot paralyze the movement, The CP of Argentina Says that no deep changes - in the social structure can take place until the proletariat gives leadership. “It is true that there. = — “- may be some guerrilla fighting in'a revolution, but such guerrilla fighting may not take place in all countries,
"I want to outline what we consider the tasks .in Argentina in the’ order :of their importance.
"1) In Argentina, the first task is to unite to end the military regime.
"2) To win democracy.
"3) To carry on to the end revolution for land reform; that is, the liquidation of the big estates, the giving of the land to the peasants, and So on.
"The final objective is the triumph of socialism, But at the same time at this stage of development we fight for what -we call daily immediate demands so..that our struggle will be an agrarian, anti-imperialist struggle, We would favor a coalition government for democracy based on the parliamentary: way το 7 — socialism, Of course, if that road is closed to us. we will have to use other more forceful methods, In the meantime we continue to fight for democracy and for the removal of the military dictator- ship and all those who bolster the terror of this dictatorship.

This struggle may require sacrifices and there may even be big struggles, but we do not ask for sacrifices or violence. We blame the reactionaries for causing the violence. We are prepared for violence too, if it is used by the reactionaries, Then of course they will be to blame and not we.
“Y repeat; the situation in Argentina is very complex.,. It is easier to understand other Latin American countries than it is to understand Argentina, In Argentina, we have a crisis in the economic and political structure. Argentina is the center of contradictions. between United States and British imperialism, The British position is still strong in Argentina, therefore, we fight. both imperialisms, We must take this into account, LENIN showed us how to work and utilize a classical example of a country like Argentina, which is actually a semi-colony.
" “We call Frondizi'ts government ἃ government of treason. ~ There is a wide resistance growing up against Frondizi, who is a stooge of United States imperialism, |
"Our Party in Argentina is illegal., They are always raving against us, The Army has been used and it has its own unity. In Argentina we have a situation, in the military which is similar to the French armed forces, This is an enemy that we cannot leave out of consideration, This enemy, the Army, is concentrated against the working class. Even the frontiers are left unguarded so that they can be. used against the workers, The Army in Argentina is a closed corporation. It operates on the caste system. Even the bourgeoisie finds it difficult to enter. the Army. Most ambassadors are army generals and are very reactionary.
"The CP in Argentina is increasing its influence. Sympathy for it is growing and so is the membership. The Party uses: semi-legal forms: and also fights to restore legality. It takes advantage of every legal possibility. Our eneny tries to divide the progressive forces. They. bait”™us and they want τα Ὁ ~ use terrorisn.

people, From a tactical point of view, it is very important that we in Argentina do not -become involved in what can be classified as terrorism. We do not--Zo to the mountains to organize guerrilla bands. Even if the Cuban Party and govern- ment offered us ariiSs and other support at this time we would say, thank you very much but we do not want that. We are the ones who asked 'Che’ Guevara to write the book on guerrilla warfare, Yet, the thesis and the methods he outlined in this book are not for us in Argentina, at least not at the present time,
"In our country we have a population of 23 million,
million people make up what we can call the rural proletariat
which is also a part of the working class. The big landowners.»
are in control of some tro million hectarés” of Iand: ‘On the ΝΣ other hand we have in Argentina a capitalist development of
industry and commerce. Yet we still have remnants of feudalism
with a big latifundia or the big estates in existence.
"We have a fighting working class in. Argentina, but τ we must admit that it is divided, If the working class was united?
we could win. We do have united fronts and unity ‘that goes. ‘beyond*
the united front, but these are for secondary demands, But even Ὁ in strikes for these small demands, the government uses the
military and the military as a rule takes over the trade unions.
The unification of the trade unions is therefore a most important
task, We must also admit that the bourgeois ideology is still
strong among the ‘workers.
"Even during the Peron regime the Communists. used to receive 46 percent of the votes in the trade unions, put it requires patience to work with the Peronista people. I repeat. patience even now and a lot of hard. work.. Many comrades in the
casualties in Argentina during ‘the Peron régime. Some counseled = —- that we should fight the bosses but not the Peronistas. We fought the bosses ‘and at the same time won to our. Side the Peronista workers. Thus we avoided civil war amongst the working class.

Because. of this method and patience we. are now harvesting good results, The Peronista workers understand and work with us. We aré able to do this because we sent comrades into the Peron controlled unions. Some who used to cry and shed tears because we did this in 1946, now in 1960 smile with satisfaction. This is. because. we now lead these Peronista trade unions in many places, The workers were for Peron, but they were never really anti-Communists.
"In 1955, during a military Putsch we asked for arms for the workers, Peron fled. He did not give these arms to the workers. The workers, who up until then followed Peron, learned some lessons as a result. of this desertion. Of course they remember that Peron gave. them some social reforms but we _.remind them that these reforms: were not given to them but were possible because Argentinian capitalisn grew stronger: during” ~~ -- World War II. It made a lot of profit ‘and then Peron was able ‘to give some reforms,
"Now some words about the Party. We now have 100,000 ‘CP members, In 1946 we had only 15,000 members, Not all of our membership can be considered real “Marxists. But the majority are good working class fighters although some members of our Party still have the pictures of Peron on their walls. When we ask them the reason for this they say, we cannot forget that man, We have won many former Peronistas to our Party.
"In our country we are getting used to the idea that we have a half a dozen attempts at Putsches.a year and of course the counter-Putsches. Argentina looks like an armed camp. But despite these Putsches and the display of armed might, we continue to fight for constitutional government and for a democratic regime. We fight the Putschists but when a Putsch takes place we call upon the workers to come out-in the street and prevent the reactionaries from winning, We are nearing the moment when we will answer the Putsch with unity. We also know that the United States-Embassy~ --— is always involved in some Putsch or counter-Putsch,. Two months ~ ago the United States intervened directly to stop one Putsch because it was afraid that if Frondizi was overthrown, American imperialism might lose control of the situation and mightnot be able to restore the status quo.

"Now for a little history. In the last election we supported Frondizi. We supported his program, not the man. Let us read his program. I will not burden you with the entire program, but in that program you will find demand number one is land reform. Also in that program are the following: the state should give aid to the cooperatives, the important indus- tries should be nationalized, there should be financial reforn, measures of social security should be introduced, etc. etc.
We say that if such a program would be put forth again, we would support this program again. In fact this program could be the program of the Party if there was only added support for the Soviet Union's peace program and a policy for socialism.
"We also want you to remember that in 1955 Frondizi was the. founder of the League for Civil Liberties. Frondizi at that time exposed the United States monopolies, He denied that ‘He was- - a Communist but millions of people actually believed. that he was, For three or four months after the election, we retained close contact with him, Our head of the Party, Codovilla, used to 566 him and very often he would send emissaries to us asking for help. At that time we urged Frondizi not to publish anything about our relationships or even the fact that he was trying to make contact with Khrushchev. We might characterize that period as one of idyllic relations with Frondizi. We could not give him unconditional support. We had our own candidates running for office until the day before the elections when we switched and urged support for him. We warned him that he would be overthrown if he did not build- support amongst the population anil when he ceased to depend upon the masses.
"After the Frondizi treason, we did not lose anything. The Argentinian people remembered our warning. After the election we in the Central Committee of the Party held a plenum. We said that we were going to mobilize the masses to put pressure on Frondizi so he would carry through the program and promises of the election. We asked for the destruction of the police regime” and for the reorganization and the disbanding of the army apparatus. We asked for the ousting of imperialism and its agents. We said that this would not be easy but it could be done if he, Frondizi, would base himself on the masses, We further

said that he would have to support everything of a positive nature but he would have to fight the negative. We had no illusions about the Frondizi regime, There was a secret pact between Frondizi and Peron at the time of the elections. Frondizi had promised to turn the trade unions over‘ to: Peron. We, the Communists, prevented this. We took the program of Frondizi, Wefought for it. We continued to fight for it and we fought to win the Peronistas in the trade unions,
"Now I want to speak about leftism. Leftism is dangerous in Argentina, The leftists condemn contact with the national and radical parts of the bourgeoisie, The Trotskyites have a lot of influence dmongst the students. The students are not allied with the workers. Actually in Argentina there is no other left but the CP, which fights for peace, against. imperialism and for an alliance between workers, the peasants, the students, and the patriotic ‘bourgéoisiée, In τ“ -- short, we fight to establish a united front of all of these elements.
"We are constantly fighting for the legality of the Party. At the present time there are 40 trials going on which affect the status of the Party. We are constantly exposing the provocations, There is a section in the Army which, we knoy, is against the illegalization of the Party. We utilize that, too. We charge that the present government is illegal; we are legal. We boycotted the last elections, We mobilized the peasants who marched on to Buenos Aires. The enemy is waiting for the moment when we will march alone, but that will never be because we in Argentina believe in the united front. We have a policy for all mass movements and we work in all mass movements and organizations to extend our influence and to build the united front. We are now trying very hard to win influence in the peasant movement and to lead the peasant movement and to change the composition of the peasant leadership, We are conducting special fights for democracy.
"We are preparing thousands of Communist cadres. Despite the illegality there are schools in operation. We can say that we have about 10,000 CP members attending one school or another.

I repeat, that at least 10,000 of otrr cadre are involved and most of them have gone through one of these schools,
"In the last trade union elections we won in the transportation unions and in unions in other industries. The government stopped these elections or nullified them but the fact remains that we have the majority on our side. This is true in the textile union and a number of other unions, I do not want to create the impression that the candidates who won were all Communists. There were Communists on the list but there were also ‘others on the list. Our demands were broad,
illegally and we distribute them. I want to emphasize that as far as our press circulation is concerned -we sell 85: percent of what we print and we get paid for at least 85 percent of that which we print."

"In summary form, what was the situation in our Party until our last Congress? The situation was very complicated. It is therefore difficult to be brief and to give these facts in summary form, but we will try. Our Party suffered from an internal crisis, This was evident in the concrete situation. The mass influence of the Party was weakened. 20 years ago the Party influence was great amongst the peasantry and particularly in the trade union movement. This influence was Lost slowly and now the Party has influence only in some trade unions and in some

isolated organizations of the- peasants. Up until last year
we did not have a real idea of the why of these weaknesses.
Due to objective circumstances these ‘weaknesses can be explained, We aiso have to take into consideration the bourgeois influence over the revolution, the Protskyite influence and that in Mexico the petty bourgeoisie was increas~ ing in numbers.
"The Party crisis resulted from two fundamental errors, In the 1930's the CP was illegal but it had close relations with _ the masses, After it. came out of illegality it had great influence
but in 1937 the CP of Mexico began to follow an opportunistic
Line, It gave unconditional support to the government of General Cardenas. The bourgeoisie made an effort and won control over the _ peasantry. and its organizations, The CP did not understand this and virtually handed over the peasants to. the bourgeoisie. ‘Lombardo Toledano helped in this surrender. In 1949, the CP changed its “line and fought Aleman, who was then President. It fought the - — labor leaders who were under Aleman's influence. As a result of this fight we grew in 1950-52, but this fight did. not last long or was it continued.
"The Party leadership of Encina (Dionisio Encina Rodriquez) reverted to the old opportunist line, In our newspapers and magazines the Party followed a revolutionary line, but in practice the nationalleadership of the Party was opportunistic. There was rarely response to the situation as it developed from day to day amongst. the workers. and peasants. There were no concen- tration efforts made in the trade unions.or in the countryside. Whenever we were faced with concrete: problems the: leadership * followed an opportunistic line. We can also state that-from 1950.
up until last year, there was no self-criticism at all, All criticism was eliminated, The boss method of work prevailed, | There-was no collective. leadership: and we can say that in: Mexico _wé had in, the Party the cult of the personality in Leadership. This leadership mechanically: controlled the organization: ~The © General Secretary was so protected that.he could not be touched and if anybody raised some questions or criticized, such person was expelled, Therefore, during these years many hundreds, if not thousands, of Mexican comrades were unjustly expelled from the CP...

Whenever political differences: would arise they would be Solved by organizational methods. : If someone differed’ with or criticized the leadership, he was immediately expelled, This is what happened in 1940; this is what happened in 1943 and in 1948, another group was expelled.
| "In 1957, a group of members was expelled and these were the ones who went into the Workers and Peasants Party. This group in. the Workers and Peasants Party called everyone in the CP opportunistic. Their attitude was anti-Party, although they .criticized the Mexican Government; they supported the USSR and favored Marxism-Leninism, Inside the CP of Mexico, there was a dissatisfied section which saw the Party dying slowly as it became isolated from the masses.
“In 1956 or 1957, a big movement developed under the "leadership of the Party. The CP won ideological control over some trade unions and othér’ 6Grganizations that up until-then ~~ were in the hands of governnent agents.. A real upsurge developed amongst the masses. This situation made it necessary to solve the inner—Party problems. The 20th Congress of the CPSU in 1956 had a profound éffect on our’ Party in Mexico. This gave new life to our Party and helped. us to create new conditions in the CP of Mexico, but the leadership. of the Party did not really. understand the significance of the 20th Congress of the CPSU. The national leadership of the Party only took a formal attitude toward the 20th Congress of the CPSU. ‘They. promised a new line, talked about it, but did nothing.
"At a Federal District conference, the Party leadership was openly. criticized. So was the cult of the. personality. ‘We had suggested that it was time for the Party to begin to do some mass work and to work in the trade unions. We thoughtit necessary that the Central Commission call a. Party. Congress. to take these necessary steps which were being outlined. Notwithstanding Encina's opposition, good resolutions were ndoptéed at this Fedéral~
’ District conference but the Central Committee. of the Party, still - controlled by Encina, took different steps. They started to get rid of those who criticized them and began to limit the activities

of those who wanted ἃ new line for the Party. This discontent grew in the Party and from all parts of the country there was
a growing demand that the Centra] Committee act and call a Party Congress.
"At the 21st Congress of the CPSU there were delegates present from all over. When we got back to Mexico, we put forth the demand for a new Congress. We also took steps to organize state leaderships which were virtually non-existent, We took steps to eliminate Encina since he opposed the collective will, and did nothing to favor the solving of our problems. A special’ commission was set up to put an end to the inner-Party crisis. and to resolve our problems, Resolutions were written and all preparations were made for the Congress and, or course, changes in leadership were also made. This was discussed all over’ the country in: all Party organizations, but a small clique in the Leadership continued fighting all this and it was leading us to a2 split. They were hindering the preparations for the Party Congress. They acted as if the Party did not exist, The Central Committee of the Party did not fight the opportunists,
"It was the local Federal District group that began to lead the fight. The position of this group was accepted. There was a revolt against the Party leadership but this group too was expelled from the Party. The expulsion did not, solve this problem, The majority of the Central Committee continued to carry on its disruptive work and postponed the Party’ Congress even as the delegates were gathering.
"Eventually the majority of the Central Committee called the Congress. There were'70 delegates, workers and peasants in the majority, present at ‘this Last Congress, Some delegates had 30 years of membership in the Party while some were very young. There were three reports made to the Congress. I made the report on the political situation. Terrazas (Manuel Terrazas Guerrero) reported on programmatic changes and Valdez (Jose Encarnacion Valdez Ochoa) reported on rules and by-laws. This Party Congress said that the Mexican Government's policy has led to surrender to United States imperialism and this same government follows a

policy of repression inside the country. In the-last tivo years the jails have been filled with ‘thousands of political ‘prisoners. During big strikes as many as 50 thousand. people’ would be thrown into prison or confined for long or short periods of time. Today, there are hundreds of people’ in jail who. ‘have been there for two years without trial. The Party Congress asked for a. democratic front. We think that this front should be based onthe workers and peasants because the hegemony , of the: workers. is. needed if this united front is. to succeed, Toledano. has organized. a2 new. party called the People's Socialist Party. This is an opportunistic party. We believe he did this in order to take advantage of what ‘he thought would be our insoluble: inner ¢risis, although he has . failed. ,
"We of the Mexican Party ‘pelieve: that solidarity with Cuba is the main task. Many meetings of solidarity with ‘Cuba — have been broken up by the police. Later the government permitted some:of these meetings. -It has been using. the law against social dissolution against all progressives and Communists, Anyone can be jailed under this law. ‘We are calling for a mass fight against this, Recently there was. a big broad. congress held in Mexico for. the freedom of political prisoners. This congress also demanded~ the freedom of Siquetros and Matta (phonétic):, Matta is not even": a member of the Party and he is 72. years old; but the Mexican ὀ ΓΚ ι- Government has. been holding him in jail. The political prisoners: * are winning sympathy all over the country . and one of these days :: the: Mexican Government will he: compelled to release these. people.
"Internal. problems inside thé Party’ are being resolved differently than in the past. Wé asked for unity with the Workers and. Peasants Party which -is. divided, Some -of, that group, as. I said, has rejoined our Party; some of that group is still out, but we are continuing the discussions: with them. We have gotten no where as yet with the Workers;.and Peasants Party except for individual members joining our ranks.

fact. public. We want to inform you that only two members of
the old majority on the Central Committee are in the Central ‘Committee today, Orana (phonetic), a peasant, has been left
in the Central Committee. Valdez too was elected to the
Central Committee but not to the Political Bureau. It was
the Party Congress that charged these people with neglect and changed the leadership, Seven of the old Central Committee members were elected but some of these seven belonged to the ’ minority... Even these people are not in the Political Bureau
or in leading positions, The present Central Committee is made up of 23 members. ,
"Now we need to conduct a vigorous membership campaign,
‘Which we°will do. ‘We ‘havé réorganized δὰ newspaper, the "Voice ἢ of Mexico", We also started an educational campaign to strengthen the Party ideclogy, During the last few years there have been. _ no state ὋΣ national schools conducted by the Mexican Party. Until recently. only one three months school was conducted by the Party leadership in the last 20 years. Now we have new rules and by-laws ‘for the Party. We will soon call a Party conference to continue the discussion on political problems.
"The Congress was very important for the life of the Party. Up to the last Congress, there were no discussions in the State organizations of the Party, but now we have wide discussion. | Many. people who dropped away from the Party are rejoining and are endorsing the resolution. As a result of the 13th Congress of the CP of Mexico, a new mass magazine is being issued, Mass organiza- tions too are being revived.
"We do have the problem of the leftists. We do have | people who wanted. to go to the hills and organize guerrillas. We had to defeat_ them, especially amongst the teachers. Some of. these. “people aré rot members” of the Party. “Amongst the-youth there are such tendencies also.’ They wanted to organize guerrilla bands and go to the hills, This was leading to a split. We therefore took stern measures. We organized the youth and prevented a split.

"Toledano thought that he would profit from our internal situation. This is, as I said before, why he organized the new People's Socialist Party and he expected Communists would join it. But I can tell you that he has been disappointed. We now publicly discuss Toledano's plans and aims and when necessary ve expose him, The United States . and Mexican Governments had a plan to smash the railroad — Strike, They arrested all the leaders and they were espectally after Vallejo (phonetic), but Toledano was against the general strike too. And even when 8,000 strikers were in jail, Toledano called for calmness instead of encouraging the strike to free Vallejo, Toledano accused the leaders of the strike movement | of conspiring against the government. In other words, he used the same argument as the government itself. In the teachers! strike, that is when 23,000"teachers struck in the Federal District, a committee was elected and was recognized by the. government. Later the government withdrew the Fecognition from the teachers. Toledano later met with the government about — electing a new committee,. Now you can understand why it is necessary for us to denounce the position of Toledano and win those masses that he influenced. . |
"In the last two years we were isolated from other Latin American Parties, We are correcting this. We appeal to you and to all the Parties of Latin America for help. e want to extend our thanks to the Cuban Party for giving us assistance, for giving us help, for helping us to resolve some of our political problems, Thank you comrades in Cuba," : |

The highly secret document which our informant obtained in Moscow was available for reading to 411 delegations in attendance at the Moscow Conference during November, 1960. After reading, the document had to be returned to the Soviets; however, our informant surreptitiously retained the document long enough to copy it. It is felt that since the document was available for reading to a great number of people, our source is protected and also there were -six representatives from the Communist Party, USA, in Moscow.
We have disseminated a sunmary of this document to top officials of the Governnent. The entire document has been dissem-
inated on a top secret basis to all appropriate Government intelligence agencies.

Moscow Reaffirms Its Positions, November 1960
On 5 November 1960 the Soviet party replied formally to
Ι
the Chinese party's letter of 10: Septenber /” there is at hand | what purports to beyand Seems genuinely to be, virtually the
. complete text of this letter, less certain details illustrat- ing some of the letter's points ἰ In this section of this
| paper, devoted entirely to the 5 November letter, the document

hereinafter quoted.
tion may have somewhat distorted some of the formulations
The letter began with the charge that the Chinese letter
of 10 September did not really answer the Soviet letter of 21 a Jdune,. Conceding.that. differences between the Soviet and
Chinese parties had arisen prior to 1960, it argued that be-
fore 1960--specifically, in summer 1958 and fall 1959 when
Khrushchev had visited Peiping--the parties had discussed these
issues frankly. In 1960, however, after rejecting a Soviet
bid in March for bilateral talks, the CCP in April had published
the series of Lenin Anniversary articles attacking Suviet posi- ν . tions; and, after rejecting another Soviet invitation in May
' for talks, the CCP had launched its “open attack" on the CPSU,
4 bringing the issues into Nnon=party organizations" (the fronts). oY \ —-- - - ͵ ᾿ "of δ; ΐ “44.. «ἀὰρσ)7--ΠΗ11

The Soviet party, the letter went on, had felt obliged to inform the world Communist movement of Peiping's behavior, and the Chinese party had been given an opportunity to state its case at the Bucharest conference, "ALI" the parties at Bucharest, the letter contended, had disapproved Chinese "methods"; the letter did not assert, as Suslov and Kozlov in
October had not, that ali the parties supported Moscow on all
of the substantive issues in dispute.
Rather than responding in an “objective" way to the Soviet letter of 21 June (the one used to brief other parties at the Bucharest conferenee), the letter continued, the Chinese party had continued to raise issues and behave obstructively at Bucharest. Moreover, the Chinese letter of 10 September indi- cated that the CCP did not intend to heed the opinion of the — “apsolute majority" of the other parties. Further; whereas — the Soviet letter of 21 June had taken a "comradely" tone, the CCP's 10 September letter had an "uncomradely," overwraught and “overbearing” tone-~indeed, the most "outrageous" tone anyx— one had taken toward the CPSU since the days of the Trotskyites,
The Soviet letter of 5 November went on to rebuke the CCP for resurrecting such "settled" questions as eStalinization and intrabloc relations in 1956, and for making the "monstrous" charge in its 10 September: letter that the CPSU had departed from Marxist-Leninism. It reiterated the charge that the Chinese had indoctrinated foreign Communists visiting Peiping
in the hope of splitting other Communist parties. Moreover,
» νυ

SO Fem Ὁ
the letter asserted, CCP leaders were indoctrinating the entire body. of the Chinese body. .in a spirit of hostility to the Soviet party. The section of the letter concluded with the warning that the Chinese party bore “full responsibility for the grave consequences” of its actions.
The Soviet letter then turned to the Chinese charge that the Soviet party was “embellishine" imperialism, At this point, in an aggrieved but defensive tone, the Soviet letter offered evidence at some length that the Soviet party had con- sistently “exposed” imperialism and adopted policies to weaken imperialism. In this connection, the letter went on, it was a "slander" to contend that the Soviet party was "flirting" with imperialism merely because Khrushchev had spoken favorably of President Eisenhower; Khrushchev's remarks, the letter con-— tended, had had a diplomatic objective. The letter went on to emphasize that Khrushchev was not acting independently of the CPSU presidium, and to praise Khrushchev's “supreme devo- tion” to Marxism-Leninism and his "“unflagging efforts" at home and abroad.
The Soviet letter of 5 November then turned to the conten- tion-~which had appeared early in the CCP letter of 10 September--~ that the CCP had induced the CPSU to adopt correct policies during the developments in Poland and BHHungary in fall 1956. Contrary to the Chinese assertions, the letter said, Mao in 1956 had been willing to see Soviet troops used in Poland but
had been irresolute with respect to the use of Somet troops
8 nee ὃ
in Hungary.* Further, it was not true, as the CCP's 10 Septem- ber letter had charged, that Moscow in 1956 had wished to con- voke a world Communist meeting to condemn Poland.
The Soviet letter, remarking that the events in Eastern Europe in 1956 had been one result of Stalin's mistakes, then took up the Chinese criticism of deStalinization. Whereas everyone had assumed that the CCP endorsed Soviet action against the "personality cult,"** the Chinese now in 1960 had resurrected the entire issue. The letter at this point reiterated the Soviet party’s rationale for its re-evaluation of Stalin.’
The Soviet letter of 5 November then turned to the sub- stantive questions in the Sino-Soviet dispute on world Commu- nist strategy. It began by asserting flatly that the CCP was
‘mistaken on “fundamental questions," i.e. the character of | the present epoch, of war and peace, “peaceful coexistence," and the “transition to socialism."
With respect to the first question, the Letter reiterated the Soviet position that the world socialist system was becon- ing the "decisive factor" in world affairs, that the bloc's
¥The Soviet letter probably misrepresents the Chinese posi- tion to dome degree here, as has frequently been the case with both parties in these exchanges, Chinese pronouncements in fail 1956 strongly Suggested | that the CCP did not favor Soviet military intervention in Poland but did favor it--at about the same time the Soviet party decided on m it--in Hungary, i.e. as soon as the. Hungarian government. indicated its intention to
_deave the Bloc. _. kkThis clearly is a misrepresentation; the CCP's long. commentary _
on this issue in April 1956 made clear that the Chinese had important reservations about the Soviet handling of the matter.

-5- strength permitted the conclusion that. war was no longer in- evitable. It went on to Specify that this formulation meant that the West was, and would increasingly be, deterred from general war,
As for the other half of the Soviet position on the nature of the epoch--namely, that the West is still militarily and economically so strong that it is advisable (as well as pos- sible) for the Bloc to seek its gains by non-military means-~ the letter dealt: with this in terms of rejecting Mao's formu- lation that the East Wind is prevailing over the West Wind.* The letter observed sharply that Mao's phrase, "probably ad- vanced with the pretension" of adding to Marxist-Leninist
doctrine, in fact £had nothing in common with Marxism-Leninism.
—t—- ----.- -»-.-.-... -- ----.-.-
The letter then turned explicitly to questions of war. vt It reaffirmed that the Soviet party recognized the possibility τ of war (kind unSpecified) so long as imperialism exists, but argued that war could be prevented--as witness events since 1956 in Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Indonesia, and Cuba, It reiterated that it was now more difficult for the West to
undertake wars of any kind than it had been, and it reaffirmed
the Soviet view that local wars in general should be avoided,
*The Chinese have used this formulation to imply that -Bloc military strength is much greater than that of the West, an
. assessment which. underlies their advocacy of. an..extremely.
militant revolutionary program. Khrushchev has: usually pre-
ferred not to assert bloc military superiority, often employ-— ing the formula that the bloc is “at least as strong" as the
West.

owing to the danger of their expansion. The letter described the. Chinese attitude toward local wars--i.e., Peiping's slight- ing of the possibility of their expansion--as “extremely dan- gerous,”
The Soviet letter expressed agreement with the Chinese position that it was necessary to speak separately of one category of local wars, namely “revolutionary wars of libera- tion" in colonial areas. Such wars, the letter said, were in- deed "permissible and inevitable,™ and were going on now in Algeria (a colonial area) and in Cuba (which Moscow and Peiping used to include in the “semi-colonial" areas, i.e. areas in- directly under imperialist control). The Soviet attitude toward such wars were described as "positive." The letter again evaded the question of the degree of bloc support for _ such wars, contenting itself with defending the use of various means-~including diplomacy-—-to deter the West form wars, the implication HeEgxHEXH being that the West was deterred from a greater effort in Algeria and from military action against Castro.
The Soviet letter then returned to the question of assess- ing the balance of power and took up the related question of the consequences of general war. Ii reiterated Soviet criticism of Mao's "paper tiger” concept, on the ground that this con- cept encouraged complacency(meaning really, adventurism) . The letter cited Mao's contention at the November 1957 con-
ference of the parties that in a general war "at most hali"
countries. The Chinese were again charged with underestimating

of mankind would die, that imperialism would be wiped out and socialism triumphant everywhere, and that population losses would eventually be restored; the letter also cited the Chinese arguemmt that victorious socialism could rapidly rebuild a greatly superior civilization on the ruins. The Soviet letter ejected the notion of presenting such a concept to the "masses," and it stated flatly: ‘"“Contémporary imperialism is not a ‘paper tiger.'" General war, it went on, would exterminate hundreds of millions of people, éntail "untold" destruction
of productiee forces, and make “extremely difficult" the build- ing of the new society. This section of the letter concluded with the assertions that socialism can echieve a world-wide triumph without general war and that the people must be ‘told
‘plainly and honestiy" of the existing danger.* ;
Passing on to the question of “peaceful coexistence," the Soviet letter of 5 November interpreted the Chinese letter of 10 September as favoring this concept but disagreeing on the proper interpretation of it. The letter rejected the Chinese contention that there had not been “peaceful coexistence" in the years since World War II; the letter cited successes in stopping “a number of local wars."
The letter went on to defend briefly Soviet policies to-
ward the bourgedis nationalist leaders of the underdeveloped
*In the context, this presumably refers to the dreadful consequences of general war.
~8- the degree and importance of conflicts between these countries and the West.
Still following the organization of the 21 June letter and (approximately) of the 10 September Chinese letter, the 5 November letter then took up the question of negotiations with the West, specifically in terms of disarmament. The soviet use of the disarmament issue, the letter contended, was an essential part of the concept of “peaceful coexistence." It would not do to hand this issue over to the imperialists. Moreover, the Chinese were mistaken in contending that the achievement of some degree of disarmament would not free funds for underdeveloped countries, as the USSR planned to do just
that as part of the program of seducing such countries. The
letter denied that Moscow planned to have a "world without ᾿ arms", as the soviet plan euvisaged militia “in every state,
Reaching farther, the Soviet letter argued that disarmament
would help to correct the weapons imbalance between the imperi-
alists snd the workers, the imperialist oppressors and the colonial liberation forces. The letter conceded again the difficulty of reaching a disarmament agreement, but reaffirmed this as a long-term goal.
Turning then to the question of the "transition to soci-
alism''~-~i.,e,, HSS accession to power by Communist parties-- the Soviet letter rejected the Chinese charge that Khrushchev had a “non-revolutionary" point of view on this. The letter
contended (correctly) that Khrushchev had simply said that

pence. violence would not always be necessary, and it reviewed Soviet statements on this point. It specified that. the Soviet concept was not the “revisionist” notion of Simply winning a parliamentary majority, but rather uSing the parliament as one of the means of establishing a proletarian dictatorship. The letter went on to reject the charge that the Soviet.party had "evaded" key questions relating to the establishment of Com- munist power.
The Soviet letter continued its discussion of this ques- tion with the contention that a proper understanding of the balance of. forces--the same considerations which permitted
the thesis of the non-inevitability ofmw wars--applied to the
possibility of peaceful accession to power. That is, bloc
military and economic power would increasingly influence the people of the world, increasingly strengthen the local Com- munist parties, and increasingly deter imperialist interference in the affairs of any people carrying out a revolution. Reply- ing to the Chinese assertion that the concept of "peaceful" accession was acceptable as a tactic but not as a genuine expectation, the Soviet letter reaffirmed that the Soviet
party and its supporters did indeed expect this to happen "in
a number of countries."" The CCP was rebuked for having insisted
that his was never possible.
oO i oO
-10- Departing from the organization of the 21 June letter and of the 10 September letter, the Soviet letter of 5 November
did not treat separately the question of the use of the world
Communist fronts but included this question in the larger cate-
gory of “questions"--i.e., the discipline--of the world Com-— munist movement. This section began by rejecting the Chinese contention--not previously known--that there was “ideological discord" within the movement as a whole. There was no general -discord, the letter went on, there was only Chinese dogmatism and obstructionism. The letter reiterated that revisionism
in the bloc was routed, whereas dogmatism and sectarianism existed and must be combatted. Countering the Chinese charge of "bourgeois" influence on the Soviet party, the letter ob-
served loftily that “dogmatism as we know is a result of
petty bourgeois influence," and that the Source of "sectarian~~
ism was political immaturity. There was apparently much embroidery of this theme. As for the Chinese charge that Moscow wanted everyone to
be a blind adherent to Soviet experience, the Soviet letter
of 5S November declared that the Soviet party "respected every-=:
thing new" contributed by other parties (without specifying any contributions), but went on = to assert that there could not be a "Russian" Marxism or "Chinese't Marxism of "indian" Marxism or any other kind of national Marxism. The letter re- buked the Chinese for having contended (in January 1960) that
Mao "S8inocized" Marxism,
O O
This section of the letter concluded by remarking the Chinese tentlency to claim the role of "sole defenders and interpreters" of Marxism-Leninism, to have @ monopoly on deve- loping this body of thought, and to have the right to excom- municate those who disagreed. Judging from the Chinese press, the letter said, "after Lenin there appeared a. chasm,...filled only by the works of the Chinese comrades."
Taking up the question of work in the world Communist fronts, the letter agreed that there certainly were differences in the Soviet and Chinese views, but it rejected the notion that the difference lay in whether the fronts were to be fighting organizations. Of onurse they were, the letter said; the question was how to wage the fight. The leter reiterated that it waS counterproductive to “impose alian tasks and _ slogans," and it gave a number of instances of such Chinese action. The letter argued reasonably that the Chinese course would enlist only those who already entirely agreed with the Communist poSition, and thus would defeat the purpose of the fronts. The letter was particularly sharp in its rebuke of the “shameful and inadmissible" Chinese attacks on Soviet ef- forts to attract--in the fronts--representatives of "national liberation movements," including "bourgeois" figures.
Turning to the question of relations among the Communist parties, the letter began with the observation. that the Chinese
desire for "unity" was not supported by practical deeds.
᾿ O O
After the Bucharest conference, the letter went on, the Chinese had continued to ignore majority opininn and to circulate docu- ments among other parties. Here the letter insisted at some 7 length that the "unity" of the. world Communist novenent Sn respect for the opinion of the majority, and it apparently in- voked the Leninist principle (in intraparty affairs) of carry- ing out the party's decision even if one does not agree with
it.
The letter went on to reject the Chinese charge that the soviet party violated the principle of "equality" among parties, and observed that this charge was a screen for the CCP'sS own violations of “equality and comradely cooperation."' Following
Khrushchev's line at the meeting of 22 October, the letter dis-
pensed with the concept of "leaders and led" in the world Com-
munist movement, asserting that the spCPSU had rejected this concept as long ago as the 2lst Congress. Indeed, the letter continued, gaining momentum, /there was anyone who Showed a ten- dency to occupy a special position in the movement and to “abuse the trust" of fraternal parties, it was the Chinese comrades. According to the Chinese, the letter went on, the Soviet party had made one mistake after another since 1956, but now the CCP's
April 1960 articles had brought clarity out of confusion. Con-
fusion indeed existed, the letter said, but in the minds of
those who wrote the articles.
va
! Q Q
: 13- ,
Taking up the final question of relations between the two
governments, the letter set forth the record of Soviet political,
military and economic support of Peiping, and rejected the charge of having conducted an anti-Chinese campaign. Anyhow, the CCP started it, the letter said, with its April 1960 arti- cles and its behavior at the WFTU meeting in June. The letter professed indignation at the charge that Soviet aid was being used as a means of pressure (i.e.' the withdrawal of the tech- nicians). The letter observed that Soviet aid to China--much more extensive than simply the technicians-~had been given China at the cost of depriving the deserving Soviet consumer, and it remarked at this point that, while Peiping had sent
goods in exchange, the USSR "really had no use for them" and
--- - - .---
had taken them only to help the Chinese. The letter summed up Soviet scientific and technological aid--in the form of dmcunents, designs, drawings, and specifications--to. Peiping
as having been worth six billion rubles, plus the "43 years' experience" accumulated by Soviet personnel who had prepared them, plus the assignment of specialists needed in the USSR 1τ- self. In the past this had been much gp appreciated, but now the Chinese party was minimizing it. The letter at this point emitted a shriek of outrage at Chinese remarks to the effect that the tkruth could not be bought and that Peiping would not trade its principles for technicians. The letver reviewed the Soviet reasons--obviously insufficient in themselves-~for with-
drawing the technicians.
aki
The letter concluded, as had the 10 September Chinese letter, with an expression of desire for "unity,'' and it warned again against actions weakening or breaking this unity. The Soviet party and other parties, it said, were "seriously alarmed” by Chinese actions of this kind. Moreover, the world Con- munist movement was not going to wait for the "verdict of his- tory."
By this time (early November), both the Soviet and Chinese parties had gone to much effort to encourage the view that neither would back down in the Moscow conference, even if this meant the separation (voluntary of involuntary) of the Chinese party from the world Communist movement. In other words, the two parties were playing "chicken"--and it was not
known whether either was willing to Swerve at thé last moment.

The Bureau feels that the recent Solo mission Ν of CG 5824-5: was unusually productive. This mission -pro- ; vided an extensive volume of highly valuable intelligence information. - It is apparent. this was accomplished as a result of extreme sacrifice on the part of the informant. It is also apparent that the personnel of your office par-~ ticipating in this operation have played an important part in this accomplishment and they have handled in an excellent manner the valuable intelligence information provided.
You should carefully analyze this matter and fur- ᾿ nish the Bureau with your recommendations as to appropriate recognition for CG 5824-S* and the personnel of your office.
NOTE ON YELLOW:
The. eighth Solo mission of CG 5824-Ss lasted from 9-22-60 to 12-17-60. The informant, as a representative of the Communist Party, USA, attended secret meetings in the Kremlin for a period in excess of two months. Extensive . valuable intelligence information was provided as a result of this mission. The informant was able to record a day-by- day detailed account of 411 the secret meetings held in the Kremlin. One highly important document obtained by the informant was a letter of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union dated 11-5-60 which sets out point-by-point the deep- seated ideological differences existing between Russia and Red China. This 46-page document was surreptitiously obtaingd and copied by our informant. This action and the high volume ͵ of material brought out of Russia by the informant evidence extreme risk.

8ἃ lease therefor on 2/9/61.
As will be noted, referenced letter reflects that NY 694-S intended to nove into the new office by 3/1/61. On 2/9/61, NY 694-S, CG 5824+S, and the NYO further discussed this proposed move - particularly from the security standpoint. It was agreed that for NY 694-S to be able to move on such short notice to a new location possibly might arouse some suspicion among the Soviets. :The solution of the problem, it was agreed, would be that-to allay suspicion; and also to insure that the informant obtain the.office suite which 50 ideally suits his purposes,, the office be rented now, and the informant move ‘into it-on or about 4/1/61, the lease to be effective as of 3/1/61.
BARKOVSKY can be told that NY 694-S is finding it extremely difficult to find a suitable office, but that he feels certain he witl do so on or before 4/1/61. BARKOVSKY also can be told that, as an established businessman, NY 6O94-S cannot relocate his business on such short notice without 27: serious interference with his business operations. ἐς
